Klementina Shahini Feb 20, 2010:
I believe you that probably there are filmmakers that use this word but this doesn't mean that this is right. We all are aware that a lot of Albanian people are using a lot of English words instead of our Albanian words. This is a dangerous phenomenon that our language and our community is facing. It is our responsibility as members of the Albanian community and especially as professional translators to keep our language pure.

Best Regards,
Klemi

Cinema, Film, TV, Drama Again, please find an Albanian filmmaker and see what they say they call voice-over in their professional jargon. I am not wild guessing here, I have many friends involved in the film industry and I am sure about what I enter here.
Klementina Shahini Feb 20, 2010:
Alban,

If you are using the word "narratim" having in mind the English words narration or narrate I would say that we do have beautiful Albanian words for each of them:

narration in Albanian language means tregim or rrëfim
narrate in Albanian language means tregoj, rrefej
Voice - over has entered our dictionaries as Zëri i folësit and my opinion is, just my opinion, that we don't have to come up with another word if we already have "zëri i folësit" word which gives the full meaning of the voice-over.

Regards,

Klemi

Ask an Albanian filmmaker and see what they say they call voice-over. I say this for sure, because I have many friends in the film industry.

agree Ledja : Narratim është futur dhe në tekstet e letërsisë në shkolla, siç e kam shprehur dhe në lidhjen e që ke paraqitur, Alban, prandaj është fjalë e stabilizuar në shqipen e sotme.

Zëri i folësit

Ishte një muzike e huaj, e ilustruar me ambient të zhurmshëm stadiumi, midis të cilit dëgjohej zëri i folësit qe theksonte titullin e emisionit "Nga njera ndeshje në tjetrën".

agree Ledja : Mund të përshtatet në disa raste, por jo në të gjitha. Unë për shembull kam bërë "narrations" për një shtëpi botuese, por në ato raste nuk shkon të thuhet se kam bërë zërin e folëses, por narratimin e librit.

Thank you
neutral Fabiana Papastefani-Pezzoni : Klemi, varet vetëm nga konteksti. Zëri i folësit është edhe ai i folësit kryesor në programe shkencore. Siç thua ti, thuhet në të folurën e përditshme, por jo në terminologji. Kam bërë naratimet e programeve të BBC për TVSH për 4 vjet dhe s'kam dyshim për
