Përjeton

Përjeton is the present tense, third-person singular form of the Albanian verb përjetoj, which means to experience, to undergo, or to live through. It is used to describe the experience of feelings, events, or situations, and it can express neutral, positive, or negative connotations depending on the context.

Usage examples include: Ai përjeton një ndjenjë të thellë, meaning he experiences a deep feeling. Ajo përjeton një kujtim të veçantë, meaning she experiences a particular memory. The verb can also convey enduring through hardship, as in situations where someone per se "përjeton" difficulties, pain, or upheaval.

The verb is etymologically formed from the prefix për- meaning through or across, together with jetoj (to live). Related noun forms include përjetim, which denotes an experience or the act of experiencing. The relationship between përjetoj/përjeton and përjetim reflects a common Albanian pattern in which verbs of experiencing give rise to noun forms that summarize the experience itself.

In contemporary Albanian, përjeton appears across literature, journalism, and everyday language to convey that a subject is actively experiencing or going through something. It is commonly paired with direct objects or experiential descriptors, illustrating both subjective perception and the real-world events that shape that perception.
