The vowel <em>\u2018\u00eb\u2019<\/em> has been forgotten. Children have difficulties with orthography and are problematic when it comes to understanding texts,\u201d says literature teacher Marsida Jarani to Euronews Albania.<\/p>\n<p>Another concerning element is the usage of foreign languages. Many Albanian words have been replaced with their English counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTechnology is good but it also has negative impacts, such as abbreviations or borrowing of foreign words. Whether we like it or not, children know English very well, but this is also influencing on the Albanian language. These are visible elements we see when they write essays,\u201d the teacher further explains.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a list of some of the most used abbreviations by the younger generation:<\/p>\n<p>TKXH \u2013 T\u00cb KAM XHAN (I love you)<\/p>\n<p>KLM \u2013 KALOFSH MIR\u00cb (Have a good time)<\/p>\n<p>TLM \u2013 T\u00cb LUTEM (Please)<\/p>\n<p>SHM \u2013 SHUM\u00cb (Very\/ much)<\/p>\n<p>FLM \u2013 FALEMINDERIT (Thank you)<\/p>\n<p>CPB \u2013 \u00c7FAR\u00cb PO B\u00cbN? (What are you doing?)<\/p>\n<p>However, these abbreviations make no sense to older generations. Education experts request that more importance should be given to language learning in the entire educational system, in order to avoid the deformation of the Albanian language.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Youngsters in Albania have forgotten handwriting.
