Interpretojmë

Interpretojmë is a present tense form of the Albanian verb interpretoj, meaning “we interpret” or “we translate (or explain) orally,” depending on the context. The form interpretojmë is used when the speaker is including themselves with others who perform the action of interpretation or explanation. In Albanian, interpretoj covers both the act of interpreting spoken language and the broader sense of explaining meaning or drawing conclusions from information.

The verb interpretoj is regular and common in everyday language as well as in professional settings. Its present tense forms include unë interpretoj, ti interpreton, ai/ajo interpreton, ne interpretojmë, ju interpretoni, and ata/ato interpretojnë. The infinitive is interpretoj, and the related noun form interpretim denotes interpretation, while interpretues refers to an interpretor or interpreter. The phrase interpretojmë therefore belongs to a family of terms used to describe the act of making sense of something or rendering it understandable to others.

Etymologically, interpretoj is believed to derive from Latin interpretari (to explain, to translate), likely passing into Albanian via Romance languages and historical contact. In Albanian, the nuance between interpretim/përkthim is often distinct: interpretoj generally implies oral or explanatory interpretation, whereas përkthej focuses more on word-for-word translation or rendering text from one language to another. In professional contexts, terms such as interpretim konsekutiv (consecutive interpretation) and interpretim simultan (simultaneous interpretation) are used to describe different modes of interpretation.

In summary, interpretojmë marks the first-person plural present form of a verb centered on explaining, clarifying, or orally translating meaning, with usage ranging from everyday explanation to formal linguistic interpretation.
