Vazhdojnë

Vazhdojnë is an Albanian verb form meaning "they continue" or "they are continuing." It is the present tense, third-person plural form of the verb vazhdoj, which means to continue or persist. The form is built from the stem vazhd- with the present plural ending -ojnë. In standard Albanian, it is commonly used with the infinitive introduced by të to express ongoing action, for example vazhdojnë të punojnë, meaning "they continue to work."

Usage and nuance: The form signals persistence, continuation of an action, or a state that remains in effect. It appears in everyday speech, journalism, and literature to indicate that something is proceeding or being sustained. It is often paired with an infinitive (të + [verb]) to express continued activity.

Examples:

- Ata vazhdojnë të flasin edhe sot. They continue to talk even today.

- Fëmijët vazhdojnë të luajnë në park pa pushim. The children continue to play in the park without a break.

Grammatical notes: Vazhdojnë agrees with a plural subject. Other related forms include vazhdon (he/she continues), vazhdoj (I continue), and vazhdojmë (we continue). The verb is often used in progressive or ongoing contexts and can be combined with adverbs of duration or time to emphasize continuity.
