Grammar Note: Prepositions and Suffixes
In Albanian, days of the week are often used with prepositions like “të” to indicate specific days, e.g., të hënën (“on Monday”). The definite form of the noun is also used in such contexts. For example:
- e hënë = Monday
- të hënën = on Monday
This pattern is consistent for all weekdays. The definite form (e.g., hënën) indicates that a specific day is being referenced.
