Nënshkruaj

Nënshkruaj is an Albanian verb meaning to sign a document or to endorse a written agreement. The term is built from the prefix nën- meaning under and shkruaj, the verb to write, conveying the idea of writing one’s name under a document to signify consent or validation. The related noun is nënshkrim, meaning signature, and the past participle nënshkruar describes something that has been signed (for example, një marrëveshje e nënshkruar).

Usage in Albanian contexts is formal and administrative as well as everyday. Nënshkruaj is used for the act of placing a signature on papers such as contracts, forms, or official records. The verb appears in various tenses and moods, including the imperative form nënshkruaj (Sign the document) and the past passive form është nënshkruar (has been signed). In modern usage, electronic or digital signatures are described with nënshkrim electronic or nënshkruar elektronikisht, reflecting the same underlying concept in a digital context.

Examples:

- Unë nënshkruaj këtë dokument sot. (I sign this document today.)

- Marrëveshja është nënshkruar nga të gjitha palët. (The agreement has been signed by all parties.)

- Ju lutem nënshkruani formularin. (Please sign the form.)

Nënshkruaj thus serves as the standard verb for the act of signing in Albanian, closely tied to the concept of nënshkrim (signature) and applicable in legal, administrative, commercial, and digital contexts.
