Did you know?
- While ulcerë is the clinical term, many Albanian speakers might colloquially describe the pain of an ulcer as djegie, which means 'burnings'.
- In some regional dialects, people might use the word gërryerje to describe the 'gnawing' sensation an ulcer causes, rather than using the formal name of the sore.
- Albanian medical terminology is heavily influenced by Latin, which is why ulcerë is an almost identical cognate to the English 'ulcer'.
