identifikojë

Identifikojë is the present subjunctive form of the Albanian verb identifikoj, meaning “to identify.” It is used in subordinate clauses to express a wish, suggestion, necessity, or hypothetical action, and is most commonly found after conjunctions such as që. For example, in formal or technical contexts one might encounter: “që ai identifikojë identitetin e viktimës” or “Është e rëndësishme që ai identifikojë identitetin.” The subjunctive mood with identifikoj is a standard tool in Albanian for indicating possibility, obligation, or desirability within a dependent clause.

Etymology and related forms: identifikojë derives from the verb identifikoj. The root form is connected to the concept of identification and is part of a family that includes identifikim (identification) and identifikues (identifying device or identifier). The Albanian verb itself is a loanword in the sense that its basic form and many related terms trace back to European languages, commonly via Italian identificare or French identifier, with roots in Latin identificare and identitas.

Usage notes: In everyday Albanian, the present subjunctive appears mainly in formal, legal, or academic language, and in constructions that require a dependent clause after verbs of desire, necessity, or uncertainty. Other person forms of the subjunctive exist as well (e.g., in phrases with të or with different subjects), but identifikojë specifically represents the third-person singular form in standard examples. The indicative present is identifikon, and the past tense is identifikoi.
