I notice you're using the {{term}} to add Albanian etymologies. No problem with that- but I also notice you're using "lang=la". "la" is the language code for Latin, which means that any link it creates to an existing page will take you to the Latin section. I think you want to use "lang=sq" instead (there are also codes specific to subcategories of Albanian- see WT:LANGLIST). Chuck Entz (talk) 07:22, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Etimo, when you add English glosses to Albanian terms (or terms in any non-English language), please link the glosses individually. See here for an example. It should be obvious that Wiktionary doesn't have entries like ] but rather two separate entries ] and ]. Thanks! —Angr 16:01, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, you're right, just noticed the mistake. Thanks for the tip!
I noticed you copied a significant part of the etymology of borë from . Do you have permission to directly copy from this source? DTLHS (talk) 19:45, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
I just copied the authors notes providing the quote, I thought their opinion could enrich the accuracy of the terms's etymo. No, I didn't ask them for permission. Should I delete them?(Etimo (talk) 19:56, 5 February 2013 (UTC))
Language codes are not to be used at random; they categorise entries and sq must be used for Albanian, en for English, and - when you are just comparing one term to another (more documentation can be found at {{etyl}}). Please see these changes as an example. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:13, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
I think I just overlooked it, guess I must pay more attention. Thanks for the tip! One question, I noticed that my posts are constantly being notified by some users because of an incorrect space layout (i.e. "spaces after header"), although I think I'm creating them after Wiki' standards used in all posts. Since I don't get where the problem lies, could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.Etimo (talk) 12:40, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
For instance, in almost all my entries the user KassadBot writes (rm spaces after header), which I assume this means he's telling me to correct the space layout of my entries. If not, what does this mean? Etimo (talk) 14:46, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Lol, all right then. Thanks! Etimo (talk) 11:15, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Kalb and kalb are different. Please be much more careful when editing, because I find that I have to clean up after you.

Hello, I'd like to bring to your attention an issue about which I seek your advise. My contributions to the Albanian language are beeing deleted by the user Torvalu4. I generally don't mind when this happens because this is Wiki's democratic way of sharing knowledge, the problem is that the new entries seem to be abitrary and without a clear etymological explanation. My contributions find support in the works of Demiraj, Pokorny, Jokl, Orel, Lubotsky (to mention a few), while Torvlu4 etymologies have a clear tendency to derive most of Albanian lexicon from Slavic or Latin or other sources (without giving a satisfactory explanation to it) as he carefully deletes alternative proposed etymologies (from the above mentioned authors or not), apparently leaving only the one who suits him/her. I don't want to think he/she's biased, or start a useless tag war which would take us nowhere, therefore I'd like to hear other people's opinion on the matter. Thank you Etimo (talk) 12:44, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your replies. I noticed that the etymos he deletes are especially those of words that find a connection or could stem from Paleo-Balcanic languages such as Thracian, Dacian, Illyrian, be of substratum nature parallel with Romanian or may derive from other Balkanic sources, as the common sense would suggest considering the origin of the language. Here are few examples: bollë, buall, bërtas (keep deleting it), daltë, krah (keep deleting it), preh, vapë, gati, gropë, frikë, kodër, urth (etymology of Demiraj, Lubotzky and de Vaan, deleted) among others, belonging to the basic lexicon which he arbitrarily describes as loanwords from other languages (especially Slavic, without explaining why), despite they have been phonetically and morphologically analysed and described as Albanian. I can't tell you which one to believe, or if it is the case here to go further into details, but I am an Albanian mother language speaker, therefore I have a clear and deep knowledge of the language and its etymologies. I don't know whether this user is also an Albanian speaker, although I highly doubt that. Etimo (talk) 01:11, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
The thing is that ivy in Albanian is not "hurdhe" but just "urth", while there is "hurdhe" meaning pond and garlic (with methatesized form "hudher", here the Albanian academic dictionary http://www.fjalori.shkenca.org/). In Demiraj there is no trace of "hurdhe" as "ivy" but just "urth". I don't understand where he got that. Bërtas (Gheg bartit/as) is phonologically equal to Lithuanian bàrti-to scold, chide, and Old Church Slavic brati-fight. How does he explain the Albanian schwa 'ə' stemming from Slavic u?? Based on mere similarity? Etimo (talk) 01:41, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi Etimo,
I have a question concerning the origin of the abovementioned word.
Isn't "dudë" from - or possibly cognate with - the Turkish dut ("mulberry")? It exists in Romanian as well in the form of dudă; from dud ("mulberry tree") + suffix -ă.
Best Regards, --Robbie SWE (talk) 11:37, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
The word is clearly Indoeuropean and could be a Paleo-Balkanic substratum word. This is not suprising as in Turkish there are a lot terms of Indoeuropean origin (both from old Anatolian and European languages). This might be one of those (few) words that entered in Turkish from Albanian (like: besë> T.besa, atë> T.ata, mbush, bosh> T.boš, mbyll, boll> T.bol, rraft, rrafsh > T.raf (slavic ravnij-plain) etc) or from another European source. Of course this is just my personal opinion. Etimo (talk) 12:14, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
I understand what you mean, I think you're right on the Albanian-Turkish loan part (considering the spread of the word), although there is no doubt that the word is Indoeuropean (in Pokorny you find the same idea). I will edit the term again though. Thanks for your useful tip. Regards Etimo (talk) 12:54, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
The "Variants" heading is not one we use. Also we do not place such things where you place them.

Hello,
do you think there's a cognate for the Ancient Greek word λαλέω (laléō, “to talk”) in Albanian?
I also have another question concerning Albanian, if you form the imperative of "vazhdoj", can you say "vazhdo shruan" ('you shall continue writing'), and then, is it possible to say "vazhdo punojmë" ('we shall continue working')?
And another question, can "të" in Albanian be dropped, as example: "Nesë do thosha"?
Thank you for your answers!
Greetings HeliosX (talk) 20:49, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
1) I think the Albanian cognate of the Greek verb is the ethnonym "Lalë", which describe the inhabitants of the Albanian region "Myseqe" and their dialect, as well as a relative or a kin (after a common Indoeuropean feature to name tribes after the verb "to speak, to utter").
2) The imperative "you shall continue writing" or "keep writing" is "vazhdo shkruaj" (in Standard Albanian), as in Albanian both verbs have to be translated in the same grammatical number. For this reason "we shall continue working" is translated "vazhdojmë të punojmë" (or more commonly "vazhdojmë punën" - we shall continue the work).
3) Yes it can. Mind that "të", in addition to having a function similar to English "to" (as in "Po shkoj të laj.. - I'm going to wash...), also means "to you", thus "Nëse do të thosha" also means "if I told you". Telling the difference (as well as choosing to write it or not) depends on the verb's aspect and on context.
Pleasure!

Hi there,
What do you mean?? Etimo (talk) 10:55, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
Every name I'm adding goes with the explanation of what the name means, in case it has one. The majority of Albanian names are compound of words which mean something specific, and since this is an etymological dictionary I judge it is the case to add such information.

For your etymologies you reference print Pokorny (1959). But many of the Albanian words you add this reference to, e.g. gaboj, do not refer to the Albanian word at all. So, you are misrepresenting a source. I think you are using the online version prepared by Dnghu.org in 2007. Accordingly, you need to use {{R:ine:IEW:2007}}. --Vahag (talk) 09:10, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
Latin pt is rendered just as t in Albanian since labials and velars are generally dropped in clusters with t, same as in PIE inherited words. Final velars and dentals are never dropped, so you would have t for -tio and k for -cia.

Hi, you added this word, but when we search fro mbrëmë (french keyboard), the word is not referenced, it's seem you use cyrillic "yo" character for the "ё", why ? Why do you not use standard Latin script "ë" ? Mangêzd (talk) 11:26, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Mir‑dita, Etimo, no the character is not used in Latin‑Script, I don't under‑stand why you using it in Albanian word using Latin‑Script, if you want Ë or ë use Unicode character U+00CB & U+00EB, and not Cyrillic script one "yo" : Ё U+0401 & ё U+0451... I doesn't mater if you say that is regularly used (only by Russia, Belarusia & Tajikistan), first tell me by who, and two, I never eard that be‑fore ??? No, the Albanian use Latin‑script so no need to use Cyrillic letter for some Albanian Latin‑script word, this ad‑d (mbrёmё) was re‑moved by ad‑mini‑strator, also others words in future using some Cyrillic letter in‑stead of Latin in Albanian Latin‑script word, would be re‑moved to... The peoples seeking de‑finition in the "search button" use a standard Latin key‑board, with Cyrillic letter in your ad‑d we can't find the word in search, don't use it any‑more it's use‑less.

Mir‑dita / Hi, I ad‑ded the phonetic for Gheg & Tosk variant, I use for Tosk be‑cause this sound come from the front of the mouth, and for Gheg be‑cause in this dia‑lect the sound come from the back of palate (soft), us Shqyptar Gheg we use Ϙ ق & Κ ك , but lot of peoples can't make the dif‑ference.
Here are some example :
I'm living in Belgium, and here they use the French sound only so I can make the dif‑ference with the Gheg K sound of my languages & dialects from Skopje (father) & Kosovo (mother). Be‑cause I have learn Arabic, I can make the dif‑ference be‑tween these two sound & . The sound K of Gheg Shqyptar look more like . The pro‑blem & error come from Greek alpha‑beta, be‑cause they re‑moved the letter Koppa Ϙ and us, Shqyptart, we loosed that letter in our alpha‑beta, we have a Q but we read it and in our land K can be readed invalid IPA characters (&) be‑cause words from Turkish or Arabic (using Ϙ/ق) that we have in Shqyp and in Shkup are writed only with letter K that which there‑fore have two value & . We need to dis‑tinguish these two letters & sounds.
I also ad‑ded dif‑ferent vowels since in Gheg the A of Kalb is pro‑nounced ...
Mangêzd (talk) 07:30, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
I don't say that K is auto‑matically a in Gheg but in some case the Ghegs pro‑nounce the K from the back of the palate, and is a , this sound ex‑ist like the nasal that Tosk don't use... I agree with you that lot of Arabic / Turkish word using K & Q are trans‑formed to but no all of them, but for me that is not normal, and those (a‑theist writers) who made these falsi‑fications just want to di‑vide the mu‑slims from under‑standing each others by con‑fusing their common words (lot of words from the Ottoman era (Arabic, Altaic & Persian) that we still use in Macedonia & Kosova are not in the standard Albanian dictionary and were re‑moved during com‑munist time, but in that sup‑posed Illyrian root based dictionary you can find lot of new ad‑ded words from "Greek / Ortho‑dox" & "Latin / Cath‑olic", why this hypo‑crisy against the i‑slamic culture ? Why to re‑ject it in our language)...
I also noticed that in Tosk the Gheg P is often changed to MB, in mod‑ern Greek ΜΠ is , it seem that the Shqiptar Orthodox (from the south of Albania & north of Greece) have chosen to make P to ΜΜΠ/ΜΒ (pruj mbroj (rujtar) ; prapa mbrapa ; prãmë mbrëmë ; shtremoj shtrembëroj).
The Toskërisht change :
I'm a Shqyptar Shkupjan Gheg and truly I don't like to learn & use the standard Shqip based on Tosk for me this language is a total falsi‑fication of our ancient words & my origin. I'm very sad that in Kosovo they beginned to use the standard in Tele‑vision & media, this is a re‑jection of the Gheg root that we have... I don't want our di‑stinctive dia‑lect to dis‑ap‑pear. I don't under‑stand that, when they made and im‑posed the standard in 1969, they don't used the two variants for each words at same time, but only the Tosk one (read this)... Une foli Gegnisht e jam i knaqt se e foli qat guh e vjetër...

Hi Etimo, I saw you added the etymology for nadje. I was actually unsure abut it but I am positive it's not related to night. From what I understand the word is a contraction of a phrase, like "tjeta" is a contraction of "t'u ngjate jeta". I don't even think it means morning, as "nadja mire" is used throughout the day. I am however, not sure about the phrase it's supposed to be (8mike (talk) 19:07, 17 November 2015 (UTC)).
Hi, I don't know a more satisfactory etymology for nadje, the only one I know is the one occurring in the Gheg area of Shkoder and northern parts, where nadja/nadje referes to the night/dawn. If you have more precise info or sources, by all means bring it on! Etimo (talk) 18:59, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello :) I just read about the Albanian language for the first time and was interested in the split between Gheg and Tosk, I came to Wiktionary for more details but it doesn't seem to treat Albanian consistently? I searched for past discussions about Gheg and found just one here from 2018, and I'm hoping the "resident Albanian-speaker" can help me understand something! You said "Gheg and Tosk differ only in some phonetic features." (emphasis mine), but the Wikipedia article Albanian Language claims something called "the 'me+' infinitive" is exclusive to Gheg, which sounds more than phonetic to me. Is Wikipedia incorrect? If they are referring to this Wiktionary entry, why doesn't it mention Gheg at all? Apologies if these are stupid questions, I have literally zero experience with Albanian I've just been browsing Wiktionary! Snizzbut (talk) 15:30, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi, the main difference between the two dialects lies in the rotacism phenomenon, but there is more. Gheg features also nasal vowels, which lack in tosk, tends to pronunce the ë schwa as "a" or "o", forms the infinitive with 'me + verb in the original root', contrary to tosk wich adds the -ësh suffix, and assimilates "mb, nd, ng" clusters into "m, n and k", although the latter does not occur all the time..these I believe are the main differences between the two dialects, although the topic is too varied and rich to be discussed here.

Hi! Thanks for your work with Albanian. If you have time, can you check some of these entries? They were created by a robot in 2008, and nobody checked them. If they are correct, you can remove the notice, like this Queenofnortheast (talk) 23:20, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi, I'll have a look from time to time and report eventual inaccuracies. For eg. "Artiste" is a feminine and means female artist, whereas "artist" means male artist!.

Hi! I have just added these new entries. Would you be able to find any information about the etymology of the Albanian word "cak". I looked it up, but Orel (1998) does not include it. If you ask me it is similar to skaj, but that is no use:) FierakuiVërtet (talk) 22:02, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
