sërish

Sërish is a common Albanian adverb meaning "again" or "once more," used to indicate repetition or a return to a previous state or action. It functions to modify the verb or the clause it accompanies and is versatile in both written and spoken Albanian. The word is used across Albanian dialects, including both Tosk and Gheg varieties, and appears in formal and informal registers.

In ordinary usage, sërish appears after the verb or at the end of a clause, though placement can vary for emphasis. Examples: "Dua ta provoj sërish" (I want to try again); "Do të filloj sërish nga e para" (I will start over again). It can also begin a sentence to introduce contrast or a refreshed attempt: "Sërish ai gaboi" (Again, he erred).

Orthography and etymology: The correct literary form is sërish, written with the letter ë. Some older or less formal texts may render it as "serish" when diacritics are omitted. The term is a standard element of the Albanian lexicon and does not have widely attested senses outside this language context.
