Compound is in Albanian (fjalë e pëbërë) are the words that are compounding by two or more simple words that are compounding in one word and as it can has one or more meaning. In language we have some kinds of compound words and the aim of this analyses of studies is for to corporate with Alb. and Eng. In both of languages it is possible to have with noun + noun = compound noun, or noun + verb, noun + adjective etc. The contrast and the similarly between English and Albanian are possible and sometimes the compound words can be from English to Albanian as a simple word with the different meaning. The new words that are combining or that are putting together as the one word is possible to have the contrast Eng. and Alb., e.g., noun + prep. + noun in English, but it is impossible in Albanian, because the preposition in the last language cannot creative the compound. Two languages can have the similar and the contrastive report, e.g., Eng. classroom—Alb. klasë, so in English it is compound word, but in Albanian is the simple word and both of them have the same meaning or the next example is schoolbook-libër shkolle as in Eng. is compound, but in Alb. is the group of words. The next example is mother-in-law and it is in Albanian vjehrra. In this case in English, we have N + Pre. + N, but in Albanian it is only and simple.

Abstract

Compound is in Albanian (fjalë e pëbërë) are the words that are compounding by two or more simple words that are compounding in one word and as it can has one or more meaning. In language we have some kinds of compound words and the aim of this analyses of studies is for to corporate with Alb. and Eng. In both of languages it is possible to have with noun + noun = compound noun, or noun + verb, noun + adjective etc. The contrast and the similarly between English and Albanian are possible and sometimes the compound words can be from English to Albanian as a simple word with the different meaning. The new words that are combining or that are putting together as the one word is possible to have the contrast Eng. and Alb., e.g., noun + prep. + noun in English, but it is impossible in Albanian, because the preposition in the last language cannot creative the compound. Two languages can have the similar and the contrastive report, e.g., Eng. classroom—Alb. klasë, so in English it is compound word, but in Albanian is the simple word and both of them have the same meaning or the next example is schoolbook-libër shkolle as in Eng. is compound, but in Alb. is the group of words. The next example is mother-in-law and it is in Albanian vjehrra. In this case in English, we have N + Pre. + N, but in Albanian it is only and simple.
