televiziv

Televiziv is an Albanian adjective and, in some uses, a noun form related to television. It is used to describe things connected with the television medium, including technology, content, and industry. In everyday language, televiziv can modify nouns to indicate a relation to TV, as in emisionet televizive (television broadcasts), infrastrukturë televizive (television infrastructure), or industria televizive (television industry). The related noun forms include televizion (television) and televizor (television set), while televizioni denotes the television as a medium or service.

Etymology and usage history: televiziv derives from the international term for television, itself from the combination of tele- (far) and vision (seeing). In Albanian, the term was borrowed and adapted in the 20th century along with other media vocabulary. The suffix -iv is used to form adjectives that signify a relation or pertaining to the root concept.

Contexts: The word appears in media, academic, and cultural discussions to distinguish between generic “television” and television-specific aspects, such as programming, technology, or production practices. It is commonly used in formal and journalistic registers as a neutral descriptor without implying value judgments.
