Të lutem kontrollo mesazhin që të lashë në telefonin e punës.
Hello,
Since this is an informal and easy saying, you can say it in different ways and still convey the message.

zanor-e (mbiemër)- Që ka të bëjë me zërin, i zërit; që bëhet me anë të zërit, që ka ose që prodhon zë, i zëshëm. ( Fjalori i Shqipes së Sotme). This definition clearly explains why I used the word "zanore".

Eva T
: "Zanore"?? Juliana, this is a such a word-for-word translation that not only hurts your ear, but it is also wrong... "Zanore" is (a) vowel, vocal. It is not "voice" in this case...

Ledja
: "zanore" is a formal use that has been adapted in phrases such as "voice connection", "voice mail" and other relevant contexts. But I must stress, it is quite formal; it would probably only be found in manuals and technical texts.

This is right Ledja. I usually translate UG And UI and this is why I used this specific word.

Monika Coulson
: I tend to agree with Eva's comment: "zanore" does not give the meaning of "voice message" in this case. Perhaps you meant "me zë" and not "zanore"...

Yes Monika, it can be translated "me zë" as well.

Blerta Alikaj
: just drop "zanore" because it is very confusing in this case. @ksela2000 please replace "adekuate" with "e përshtatshme"

: This was adapted from Italian, but I can recall it being used since as far back as I can remember, even before we actually had any voice mail options in Albania at all.
