Kryethi

Kryethi (pronounced roughly as "kree-eth-ee") is a word originating from the Albanian language. It serves as the definite form of the noun "krye," meaning "head" or "chief." Therefore, "kryethi" translates to "the head" or "the chief" in English.

The term can refer to the physical head of a person or animal, or figuratively, to the leader, head, or chief of an organization, group, or state. Its usage is similar to how the English word "head" can denote both a physical body part and a position of leadership.

In political contexts, "kryethi" often refers to the head of state, such as a president or prime minister, particularly in discussions relating to Albania or Kosovo. The specific meaning is often discernible from context. The word carries the grammatical definiteness implied by the suffix "-i," making it distinct from the indefinite form, "krye."
