English term or phrase: hat
What is the right Albanian translation for the word "hat" ? (I need the indefinite form, one usually given in dictionaries). Is it kapele or kapelë ? And how this word should be pronounced? Thanks in advance.

The form "kapele" appears when the word is in certain (noun) cases, eg. "streha e një kapele", and also the plural of the word is "kapele".

  -> "kapele" is more of a spoken version. As I have mentioned above, the dictionary only includes "kapelë"
