Vlerësojë

Vlerësojë is an Albanian verb meaning to evaluate, assess, value, or esteem. It is derived from the noun vlerë (value, worth) with the causative suffix -so-, a common pattern in Albanian to form verbs of making or assigning a value or judgment. The term covers judging quality or merit, as well as valuing something morally or personally.

In standard Albanian, the infinitive of the verb is vlerësoj, and it conjugates across tenses and moods. The past participle is vlerësuar, used to form perfect or passive constructions. The noun form vlerësimi refers to the act or result of evaluating. Like other Albanian verbs, vlerësoj adapts to different persons and tenses, allowing expressions such as “I evaluate,” “you evaluate,” “they evaluate,” and so on.

Common contexts for vlerësoj include education, business, public policy, and everyday speech. It is used to describe formal assessments, as well as everyday judgments of worth or significance. For example: Unë do të vlerësoj projektin sipas kritereve të reja. Mësuesit vlerësojnë punën e nxënësve. Qeveria vlerëson ndikimin e reformës.

The term also carries the sense of esteem or moral valuation, as in “to esteem someone by their values.” This nuance is often conveyed through phrases that link evaluation to merit, quality, or ethical worth. See also vlerësim (evaluation, assessment) and vlerësues (evaluator).
