English term

Singëll OR Beqar

Non-PRO English to Albanian Marketing Other Few questions about Albanian
What is the best word to describe "singles"? Singles in a positive meaning, (not just someone who is not married) describing people who are not in a relationship

I have two suggestions Singëll OR Beqar. Is any of them better? The translation is used on mobile application for social networking

Thanks!

Discussion

Difference There is a big difference on where this term will be used. If we are speaking of legal certificates (birth or civil status certificate) or other forma papers the term would be beqar, even though it has now a negative sound. In magazines, gossip or other columns/articles, or social pages, where young people write to each other, they certailny do not use the term beqar. Either not married or singëll. So it all depends on the context.

agree Ledja : Nothing wrong with "beqar" at all. I don't know what the big fuss is about, but using "singëll" is just an empty attempt to sound cool. I predict it will phase out.
