Wikipedia article on pi

This mosaic is outside the mathematics building at the Technische Universität Berlin.

When a circle's diameter is 1 unit, its circumference is π units.

When a circle's radius is 1 unit, its circumference is 2π units.

Etymology 1

From Ancient Greek πεῖ (peî), ultimately from Proto-Semitic *pay- (“mouth”). Doublet of pe. Its mathematical use apparently stems from its use as the first letter in περιφέρεια (periphéreia, “periphery; circumference”) and was first cited in 1706 in the Synopsis Palmariorum Matheseos by William Jones.

Albanian

Etymology

From Old Albanian pii, from Proto-Albanian *pīja, from Proto-Indo-European *pih₃-, *peh₃- probably via the reduplicated form *píph₃eti; compare Greek πίνω (píno), Serbo-Croatian pìti, Italian bere. Orel compares the similarity between Proto-Albanian *pīja and Proto-Slavic *pijǫ;[1] Tomaschek compares Tosk pirë/Gheg pinë with Thracian πίνον (pínon, “beer”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [pi]

Verb

• (Standard, Tosk) pi (first-person singular past tense piva, participle pirë)
• (Gheg) pi (first-person singular past tense piva, participle pinë)

1. I drink, I suck
2. I smoke (in use with duhan (“tobacco, cigarettes”))
3. I take (in use with drogë (“drug(s)”) and medicinë (“medicine”))

   A pi drogë? - Do you take drugs?

   A i pive ilaçet? - Did you take (your) medicine?

Usage notes

1. (Standard, Tosk) ai pi - he drinks / he is a drinker

   (Standard, Tosk) (unë) nuk pi duhan - I do not smoke

   (Gheg) ai pin - he drinks / he is a drinker

   (Gheg) (unë) nuk pi duhan - I do not smoke
