Example sentence(s):
  • "Buka më popullore në Shqipëri, praktikisht e padëgjuar në Kosovë, është një bukë drejtkëndëshe rreth 40 centimetra e gjatë e pjekur në tavë model. Teknologu i ushqimit Abdyl Sinani thotë se ajo quhej “buka masive” për shkak se prodho
  • Nëse secila prej tyre ka pak gramë për secilin lloj drithi të papërpunuar, atëherë me siguri po blini një bukë të thjeshtë me miell të zakonshëm gruri, të ashtuquajturën bukë masive.

Explanation:
Just like that, " a loaf of bread" that can be interpreted two ways:
1. not sliced or/and
2. most of the people use it

This is the explanation of a Kosovo baker that runs a bakery in North of Albania.

Merry Christmas and Happy Translation!
