Studjojnë

Studjojnë is an Albanian verb form that translates to “they study” or “they are studying.” It is the present tense used with third-person plural subjects, derived from the verb studjoj, which means “to study.” In Albanian, the third-person plural present tense is typically marked by the suffix -ojnë, which is how studjojnë signals that the action is being performed by multiple people.

The verb is commonly used to describe studying a subject in education or any deliberate act of learning. It can take a direct object to specify what is being studied, and it may appear with prepositional phrases indicating place or context, such as where the studying takes place.

Etymologically, studjojnë is built from a stem related to the noun for study or learning in Albanian, with the standard present-tense suffix for plural subjects. This pattern aligns with other -oj verbs in the language, where the -ojnë ending marks the third person plural in the present tense.

Usage examples:

- Ata studjojnë historinë. (They study history.)

- Ato studjojnë gjuhën shqipe në qendër të qytetit. (They study the Albanian language at the city center.)

Outside of simple present statements, forms of the same verb appear in other tenses and moods through standard Albanian conjugation, but studjojnë specifically indicates that multiple people are engaged in studying in the present. The form is typical in both formal and informal contexts within Albanian-speaking communities.
