Pasqyrojnë

Pasqyrojnë is the present tense, third-person plural form of the Albanian verb pasqyroj, meaning to reflect, to mirror, or to portray. The verb covers both physical reflection of light or images and figurative representation, such as presenting data, reality, or ideas.

Etymology and formation: The verb comes from the noun pasqyrë, meaning mirror, with the productive verb-forming suffix -oj, which yields actions related to making or causing the quality of the root. Thus pasqyroj literally denotes the act of producing a reflection or representation.

Usage: In physical contexts, pasqyrojnë describes surfaces that reflect light or image, as in tavani pasqyron dritën e diellit (the ceiling reflects the sunlight). In figurative contexts, it is used to indicate representation or portrayal of reality, data, or phenomena, for example raportet pasqyrojnë gjendjen reale të ekonomisë (the reports reflect the real state of the economy). The term also appears in academic and media writing to indicate that findings or analyses reproduce or illustrate underlying trends.

Grammatical notes: Pasqyrojnë is the present indicative form used with they. Related present-tense forms include: unë pasqyroj, ti pasqyron, ai/ajo pasqyron, ne pasqyrojmë, ju pasqyroni, ata/ato pasqyrojnë. The verb can take direct objects (e.g., realitetin, të dhënat) and is commonly used with prepositional phrases to specify what is being reflected or portrayed.
