detajoj

Detajoj is an Albanian verb meaning to detail, to elaborate, or to specify with details. It is used to describe the action of presenting information in a precise and thorough manner. The verb is transitive and typically takes a direct object such as a plan, a report, or a sequence of events, often combined with the phrase me hollësi (with details).

Etymology and formation: The noun detaj means a detail, and the verb detajoj is formed by adding the common Albanian verb ending -oj to the noun. The noun detaj itself is a loanword from a Romance-language term for detail, such as Italian dettaglio or French détail, reflecting a broader pattern of borrowing in Albanian vocabulary.

Usage and nuance: Detajoj emphasizes the act of expanding upon or enumerating specifics. It is commonly used in formal writing, journalism, business communication, and academic contexts, as well as in everyday speech when precision is needed. Synonyms include sqaroj (to explain) and specifikoj (to specify), but detajoj specifically highlights the provision of detailed information. Collocations include detajoj hollësitë (detail the details) and të detajosh një plan (to detail a plan).

Examples:

- Ai detajoi hollësitë e projektit gjatë mbledhjes. (He detailed the details of the project during the meeting.)

- Do të detajojmë rastin në raportin e ardhshëm. (We will detail the case in the upcoming report.)

Conjugation: Detajoj follows the standard -oj verb pattern in Albanian, with distinct forms for person and number. In practice, speakers choose the appropriate form to fit the subject of the sentence and the desired tense.
