Etymology and usage characteristics: the word talent is a loanword in Albanian, borrowed from Latin and further influenced by English usage. The oblique plural talenteve arises as part of Albanian noun morphology, enabling the proper marking of relations such as origin, possession, or indirect object role within a sentence. The form is more common in formal or written Albanian and in certain standard phrases found in dictionaries, educational materials, and news.

Typical contexts and examples: talenteve is found after prepositions (for example, to indicate relations such as “from talents” or “for talents”) and in compound expressions where the noun no longer appears in the plain nominative form. It is less frequent in everyday colloquial speech, where speakers may prefer other constructions to convey the same ideas. The form complements the basic inflectional system of Albanian nouns and helps maintain grammatical coherence across sentence structures.
