Adoptojnë

Adoptojnë is an Albanian verb form meaning "they adopt." It is the present tense, third-person plural form of the verb adoptoj, which means to adopt. The form is used with a plural subject and can describe adopting people, animals, policies, or other things.

Etymology and usage: The Albanian verb adoptoj is a loanword from Romance languages, most likely from Italian adopted forms such as adottare or Latin adoptare, reflecting cross-language influence. In Albanian, adoptoj and its inflected forms are used in contexts ranging from child and animal adoption to adopting practices or policies.

Grammatical note: In Albanian, the present tense for verbs ending in -oj typically forms the third-person plural with the ending -ojnë. Therefore, the infinitive/adopt form is adoptoj, while the third-person plural present form is adoptojnë. This pattern helps identify the subject as a plural agent performing the action of adopting.

Examples:

- Ata adoptojnë një qen nga azili. They adopt a dog from the shelter.

- Ata adoptojnë një politikë të re. They adopt a new policy.

Usage considerations: Adoptojnë, like other present-tense forms, is used for current or general adoption actions carried out by multiple subjects. It can apply to domestic or formal contexts, and may appear in news, legal, or everyday language when describing adoption actions.
