AND

English to Albanian Art/Literary Linguistics Grammar
Hi,
you seem to have three words for AND - E, DHE and EDHE.
Please could you explain the difference and/or give some simple examples of how they are used?

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Αlban SHPΑTΑ

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

e, dhe, edhe

e, dhe, edhe

e, dhe, edhe

dhe - it is used to repeat two parts of the sentence that play the same role. For example: Mësues dhe nxënës (teachers and students)
dhe - it is also used to repeat two or more parts of the sentence, when counting them. Exmp.: Dhe prindërit, dhe shokët, dhe mësuesit... (The parents, and the friends and the teachers...)

e - it is used to connect two words or two forms (parts) of the same sentence, in groups that are coordinated between each-other. For example: Tani e tutje (now and later), Ec e ec (walk and walk.)

edhe - it is used to connect two parts that play the same role in a sentence, or two sentences that are coordinated (copular or adding.) For example: Punojmë edhe mësojmë. (We work, and we learn.) Nxënësit edhe mësuesit (The students, and the teachers.)

In general I can say that "dhe" is used the most. "Edhe" is used when you want to emphasize something more than the other. "E" is used to make the connection easier and in general it is used when connecting two words, and less often two parts of the sentence. Hope this helps

agree Αlban SHPΑTΑ : më duket e pamundur që kjo pyetje të jetë klasifikuar si PROFESIONALE dhe ndërkohë që pyetjet per IT të konsiderohen EASY!
