Vazhduar

Vazhduar is a term in the Albanian language that functions as the past participle of the verb vazhdoj, meaning to continue or to carry on. It is used to indicate that an action or process has been continued or remains ongoing. As a participle, vazhduar can form part of compound verb tenses with auxiliary verbs (such as është, janë, ka, kanë) and can also serve as an adjective describing something that has been continued.

Etymology and related forms: The form vazhduar derives from the root vazhdo- (to continue) with the -uar suffix that creates past participles. Related words include vazhdim (continuation) and vazhdues (continuing or ongoing), which share the same semantic field surrounding the idea of persistence or duration.

Usage: In Albanian, vazhduar often appears in perfect and pluperfect constructions to express that a process has persisted. Examples include sentences like “Projekti ka vazhduar që nga mesi i marsit” (The project has continued since mid-March) and “Punët kanë vazhduar gjatë javës” (The works have continued during the week). It can also appear in past-tense constructions, such as “Procesi ishte vazhduar” (The process had been continued), depending on dialect and stylistic choice.
