Lejojë

Lejojë is the third-person singular present subjunctive form of the Albanian verb lejoj, meaning to allow or permit. It is used in subordinate clauses to express wishes, necessities, possibilities, or hypothetical actions, typically after a conjunction such as që.

In Albanian, the present subjunctive mood contrasts with the indicative in describing what is desired, required, or imagined rather than what is factual. The subjunctive form lejojë appears after a subject introduced by që in clauses like “që ai të lejojë hyrjen” (that he allow entry). The infinitive of the verb is lejoj, while the present indicative forms include lejoj (I allow) and lejon (he/she allows). The subjunctive is a distinct mood and not used as a standalone statement.

Usage notes include its appearance after verbs of desire, recommendation, necessity, or doubt, as well as in certain fixed expressions that require a subordinate clause with the subjunctive. It is typically preceded by the particle të in infinitive constructions, as in që ai të lejojë. The form is also found in negative and interrogative subordinate clauses, such as “duhet që ai të lejojë” (it is necessary that he allow) or “a do të lejojë ai hyrjen?” (will he allow entry?).

Examples:

- Dua që ai të lejojë hyrjen.

- Është e nevojshme që ajo të lejojë përdorimin e mjeteve të sigurisë.

Related forms include the infinitive lejoj, the present indicative forms like lejoj and lejon, and other mood forms for different tenses. Etymologically, lejojë derives from the Albanian verb lejoj, rooted in the notion of permitting or enabling.
