Përdorni

Përdorni is an Albanian verb form meaning “to use.” It functions as the second-person plural present indicative and as the imperative form when addressing more than one person. The corresponding infinitive is përdor, and the stem is përdor-. The ending -ni is a common marker for the second-person plural in Albanian verb conjugation.

Etymology and related forms: The word is native to Albanian, built from the verb kasut forne bote? Not necessary. The noun përdorim means “use” or “utilization,” reflecting the action expressed by përdor. Related forms include përdorues, meaning “user,” and përdorimi, also used for “the use” or “the usage.” These derivatives are regularly employed in instruction, manuals, and discussions of technology and behavior.

Grammar notes: Përdorni can appear in two main functions. As a present tense form, it states that “you (plural) use” something, as in Ju përdorni këtë makinë çdo ditë. As an imperative, it gives a command to a group to “use” something, as in Përdorni këtë udhëzues. For a singular, informal command, the form is përdor; for a singular formal or polite form in some contexts, Albanian often uses identical or context-driven variants without a distinct separate form.

Usage: The form is common in everyday speech, instructions, safety notices, and manuals where groups are addressed. It is versatile across registers, though the imperative usage tends to appear in directions or guidelines directed at multiple people.
