Vendosë

Vendosë is a grammatical form in Albanian. It is the present subjunctive, used in third-person singular, of the verb vendos, which means to place or to decide. As a subjunctive form, vendosë functions to mark mood rather than to convey a concrete, standalone action; it appears in clauses that express wish, possibility, necessity, or hypothetical action.

In ordinary sentences, vendosë appears after a particle such as që (that) to introduce a dependent clause. It signals that the action is potential or desired rather than asserted as a fact. For example, in the sentence qё ai të vendosë një plan të ri, the verb form vendosë expresses the sense that the speaker wants or contemplates that he places or decides on a new plan. Other common contexts include expressing necessity or recommendation, such as është e nevojshme që ata të vendosin rregullat e reja (it is necessary that they set the new rules).

The form is tied to the root vendos (to place, to decide) and is part of Albanian’s mood system, which distinguishes indicative, subjunctive, and other moods. It is one of several subjunctive forms that Albanian uses to convey non-factual or contingent events, often in concert with auxiliary words or conjunctions.
