Their lexicon is often rich with redundant words, colloquial ticks which spray the colloquial language with affective conotations sometimes of a higher intensity. İn this paper, it has been tried to analyze redundant words, the different colloquial ticks, as well as the questions arising in Pirandello‟s short stories. Moreover, the object of this study will also be the rendering of these characteristics when traslating the short stories in Albanian.
