Llogoj

Llogoj is an Albanian verb that primarily means to count or to calculate. It is used in arithmetic to sum numbers, determine totals, or reckon quantities. In everyday language it can also refer to tallying scores, keeping numerical records, or evaluating figures in a report. The infinitive form is llogoj, and the verb fits within standard Albanian verb patterns.

The term is linked to the broader lexical field of calculation and numerical work, with related forms such as llogaritje, which denotes calculation, and other derivations tied to counting and accounting. In this sense, llogoj functions across mathematics, finance, and statistics as a basic operation of handling numbers.

In contemporary Albanian usage, when referring to recording events in a computer system, speakers typically use regimes like regjistroj or regjistrim to convey “to log” in the IT sense. Llogoj tends to retain its original meaning of counting or tallying, while in technical contexts it may be complemented or replaced by terms that more precisely describe data logging. This reflects a broader tendency to distinguish between arithmetic counting and data recording in modern Albanian prose and documentation.
