Mospranojnë

Mospranojnë is an Albanian verb form meaning “they do not accept.” It is formed by attaching the negation particle mos- to the present-tense third-person plural form pranojnë, from the verb pranojë meaning “to accept.” The combined form conveys a negative present tense sense, translating directly to “they do not accept.”

Etymology and morphology: The word combines mos, the negation particle used to express prohibitions or emphatic negation, with pranojnë, the third-person plural present form of pranoj “to accept.” Grammatically, mospranojnë is a finite verb form in the present indicative, third person plural, in the active voice.

Usage and register: In modern Albanian, the standard way to negate the present tense is with nuk pranojnë (they do not accept). The form mospranojnë is less common and typically appears in older or more formal or literary styles, or in contexts aiming for a weightier or archaic tone. It may also appear in certain fixed expressions or rhetorical uses where the negation of acceptance is emphasized.

Examples: A typical contemporary sentence is Ata nuk pranojnë ofertën. If mospranojnë is used, it tends to occur in specialized registers and is not the default form in everyday speech.
