Ruajnë

Ruajnë is the Albanian present tense form of the verb ruaj, used for third-person plural subjects. It translates roughly as "they guard" or "they protect." The verb ruaj itself means to guard, protect, keep, or preserve, and ruajnë is the form employed when describing actions performed by multiple actors toward a direct object.

In usage, ruajnë describes both physical guarding and broader safeguarding. It can refer to protecting people, property, information, or reputations, among other things. Examples include: Ata ruajnë shtëpinë nga vjedhja (They guard the house from theft). Shërbimet e sigurisë ruajnë rendin publik (Security services protect public order). Ata ruajnë sekretet e kompanisë (They protect the company’s secrets).

Grammatically, ruajnë is the present indicative form for the third-person plural, distinct from other persons and numbers such as unë ruaj (I guard) or ti ruan (you guard). The verb can be used across formal and informal contexts and often appears in discussions of security, maintenance, or preservation.
