vërtetët

Vërtetët is the plural form of the Albanian noun vërtetë, meaning truths. It refers to truths, true statements, or propositions considered factual, and can also denote the notion of truthfulness within a claim or narrative. The term is used across philosophy, journalism, and everyday speech to discuss what is true or to enumerate the truths acknowledged in a discussion.

Etymology: The word vërtetë belongs to the same root family as vërtet (true) and the adverb vërtet (truly). The plural vërtetët is employed when speaking of several truths or multiple true propositions.

Usage: In formal and informal contexts, vërtetët is used to distinguish true propositions from false ones and to refer to the set of truths relevant to a matter. It can appear in discussions of evidence, credibility, and the basis of claims, as well as in ethical or legal conversations where truthfulness is evaluated. In Albanian discourse, the term may be contrasted with opposite notions such as falsehood or deception, depending on the subject matter and register.
