Albanian term

Taku

Not for points Albanian to English Other Other
I beleive this could be a name? From a little research, it could also be "my" or "mine". It is carved onto a rifle stock that was carried in Albania.

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.

Proper Name - Agree

I agree with the previous comment that "Taku" is a short version of the proper name, "Spartak" used mostly in the South of Albania.

Proper name

Hello RJ,
This is a proper male name. Especially since this word is carved on a rifle... (Taku is short for "Spartak" or maybe other male names that I cannot think of for the moment.)

Good luck.
