OF THE DEFINITE ARTICLE
Re e shquara, I don’t quite understand what the “e” is grammatically. Some kind of prepositive article, perhaps?
Anyway, how do you decline it, please? How would you say e.g. “the use of the definite article”? (That would presumable require the genitive case of “e shquara”)
And what about the accusative? E.g. “Albanian has a definite article”.
Not to mention the indefinite and plural declensions! :-)
Best wishes and many thanks,
Simon

If you are asking what is the translation of "DEFINITE ARTICLE" I think the above is the correct one. I am not sure I got the question right because there was many grammar info.
Discussion
What I was after is the declension of �E SHQUARA�
So,
Singular:
Nom. e shquara
Acc. e shquar�n
Gen. �i/e e shquar�s
Dat. e shquar�s
Plural:
Nom. e shquar�t
Acc. e shquar�t
Gen. �i/e e shquar�ve
Dat. e shquar�ve
Which is why I asked for the translation of the phrase �the use of the definite article�. But I am sorry, it obviously wasn�t clear.
Best wishes and many thanks,
Simon
