vendimin

Vendimin is the Albanian word meaning “the decision.” It is the definite singular form of vendim, a noun used to denote a formal decision, ruling, or verdict. The term is common in legal, governmental, and administrative language, as well as in everyday speech when referring to a specific decision.

Etymology and form: Vendim comes from the verb vendos, meaning to decide or to place, with the -im suffix forming a noun that denotes the act or result of deciding. Albanian marks definiteness by adding suffixes to the noun; vendim becomes vendimi in its definite nominative form. In other syntactic positions, notably when the noun appears as a definite object, the form vendimin can occur, as in verb-object constructions.

Usage: Vendimin is used to talk about a particular decision in contexts such as court rulings, government policies, or organisational decisions. Typical phrases include vendimi i gjykatës (the court’s decision) or vendimin e qeverisë (the government’s decision). Examples in ordinary usage include Unë kam lexuar vendimin (I have read the decision) and Ky është vendimi që duhet zbatuar (This is the decision that must be implemented).

See also: vendim (the general noun for any decision), gjykatë (court), qeveri (government). The word is part of standard Albanian legal and administrative vocabulary and is understood across dialects of the language.
