As it has been accepted so far, Albanian terminology in particular fields is more problematic than general terminology, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. The last one up to nowadays is even more systematized, standardized and adjusted in Albanian language (Albanized), which relates to the value of these basic fields of knowledge to all other fields, some of those terms are used in almost all technical terminologies. However, although the work conducted with these terminologies is also reflected in this one, it is worthwhile to see how these results are also taken into account in the terminology of theoretical mechanics, since some terminology of general theoretical fields have been borrowed from mechanics, for instance: baraspesh (equilibrium balance), ndryshore (variable), dallor/diskrimimant (distinctive), etc. Three cases can be observed: to some extent these Albanized terms are included in this field, which is reflected in the choice between the secondary terms of the Albanian terms, for instance: zhvendosje (displacement) instead of spostim mbshtetje (support) instead of stojk (vertical, support tool a term introduced from Russian). In some cases, oscillations are observed, such as the use of the foreign term and Albanian in parallel: distanc and largsi (distance), uniform and i njtrajtshm (uniform), translativ and tejbarts (conveyor, conveyer). In other occurrences, no attempts were done regarding the introduction of the Albanized terms, which function as such in the areas where they come from, such as: tejim (drive, transmission) (for transmission), ndemje (stress) (for tension/strain). Here, can be mentioned that, in certain cases, a number of Albanized terms are not taken into account, which are found especially in some high school textbooks and are also reflected in dictionaries, such as: trysni (pressure)(for presion), barazpesh (equilibrium balance)(for ekuilibr), etc.
