veprës

Veprës is a term found in Albanian language use that refers to a specific act, deed, or work. It is related to the noun veprë, which broadly means “work,” “deed,” or “act,” and veprës is encountered in contexts where a particular item or action is singled out. In practice, veprës appears mainly in formal, literary, or historical texts rather than in everyday speech, where more common forms of reference to a work or act are typically used.

The range of meanings for veprë covers artistic creations (such as literary or visual works) as well as notable deeds or actions. Because Albanian employs definite forms and various stylistic registers, veprës can function as the definite reference to a previously mentioned or contextually clear work or act, with the exact sense determined by surrounding language.

In translation, veprës is usually rendered as “the work” or “the deed,” depending on context. The term underscores the idea of a particular, identifiable creation or action rather than the general concept of work or action.

Etymologically, veprë stems from a root linked to making or doing, a common semantic thread across related Albanian words for activity and production. Veprës thus embodies the specialized, definite reference to a created work or performed act within a formal linguistic setting.
