vënien

Vënien is a noun in the Albanian language that denotes the act or process of putting, placing, or installing something. It is a nominalization of the verb vënë, which means to put or to place. In everyday use, vënien can refer to both the physical arrangement of objects and the formal act of installation or setup, such as placing equipment, furniture, or art in a space, or initiating a system.

Etymology and form: The word is formed with the verb stem vënë and the nominal suffix -ien. The standard spelling reflects Albanian phonology, including the letter ë. In some contexts, vënien may appear in older texts or in stylistically formal language as vënie or vënia.

Usage: In practical Albanian, the noun is relatively formal and common in technical or administrative registers. Examples include phrases like “vënien e pajisjeve në vend” (the installation of equipment on site) or “vënien e dekorimeve për një ngjarje” (the placing of decorations for an event). It can also be used more abstractly to denote the establishment or implementation of principles or rules, though such usage remains formal.
