zonës

Zonës is the Albanian genitive singular form of the feminine noun zona, meaning zone, area, or belt. The concept of a zone denotes a defined geographic or conceptual region, including physical, administrative, climatic, or functional areas. Zonës functions as the genitive/possessive form used to indicate that something relates to or belongs to that zone. It appears in phrases such as kufijtët e zonës (the zone’s boundaries) and planifikimi i zonës (the planning of the zone).

Etymology: The Albanian word zona is borrowed from Italian zona, which itself derives from Latin zona and possibly ultimately from Greek zōnē. The term has been incorporated into Albanian to describe a broad range of zones—geographic, administrative, economic, or functional—and is widely used in both technical and everyday language.

Usage: In geography and urban planning, zona is used to name or classify areas, for example administrative zones, climate zones, or security zones. In economics and regulation, terms such as zona ekonomike refer to economic zones or industrial zones. In everyday language, the genitive form zonës is used to express relation or possession, as in kufijtë e zonës (“the zone’s boundaries”) or zhvillimi i zonës (“the development of the zone”).
