Kallëzues

Kallëzues is a term used in Albanian grammar to describe the predicate of a sentence. It is the part of the sentence that expresses what the subject is or does. The kallëzues typically includes the verb and any objects or complements associated with it.

In a simple Albanian sentence, the verb often serves as the core of the kallëzues. For example, in the sentence "Djaloshi lexon librin" (The boy reads the book), "lexon librin" (reads the book) functions as the kallëzues. "Lexon" is the verb, and "librin" is the direct object.

The kallëzues can be more complex, including auxiliary verbs, modal verbs, or a series of verbs. It can also involve predicative complements, which describe the subject's state or identity. For instance, in "Ai është mjek" (He is a doctor), "është mjek" (is a doctor) is the kallëzues, where "është" is the verb and "mjek" is the predicative complement.

Understanding the kallëzues is crucial for analyzing sentence structure and meaning in Albanian. It helps distinguish between the subject performing an action or being described, and the action or description itself. The arrangement and components of the kallëzues can vary depending on the verb's transitivity, voice, and mood, as well as the desired emphasis within the sentence. Proper identification of the kallëzues aids in accurate translation and comprehension of Albanian texts.
