Formojnë

Formojnë is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Albanian verb formoj, meaning to form, shape, or constitute. The base infinitive is formoj, and related forms include formoj unë formoj, ti formosh, ai/ajo formon, ne formojmë, ju formoni, they form formojnë.

Grammatical notes: Formojnë functions as the present tense for subject plural they. It is used in ordinary statements about forming or shaping things, such as groups, plans, ideas, or physical objects. Albanian expresses ongoing action in the present with the simple present, and to emphasize ongoing process one may use the periphrastic construction duke formuar (while forming). For example, Ata formojnë një grup të ri. or Ne formojnë një plan të ri. When referring to the act of forming in the past or future, other tenses are used, but formojnë appears specifically in the present with plural subjects.

Usage and nuance: The verb covers both concrete and abstract forms of making or creating. It can describe assembling a team, shaping a material object, or developing an idea, often with verbs or nouns following to complete the meaning (e.g., një grup, një plan, një ide). The term is common in everyday Albanian and in formal contexts alike.

Etymology: formojnë derives from the noun formë, meaning form or shape, with the common Albanian verb-forming suffix -oj. This pattern attaches to other roots to produce verbs meaning “to form” or “to shape.”
