jepni

Jepni is an Albanian verb form derived from the verb jep, meaning "to give." In standard Albanian, jepni functions as the imperative mood used to command or request that multiple people or a formal address give something to another person or group.

Grammatically, jepni is formed from the verb stem jep plus the second-person plural/formal imperative suffix -ni. The corresponding singular informal imperative is jep. The form is predominantly verbal and is not used as a noun. In negative constructions, the form takes mos before it, as in mos jepni ("do not give").

Usage of jepni occurs in contexts where a speaker directs a group or a formal addressee to perform the act of giving. Common examples include requests in everyday interactions, signaling a directive in public or administrative settings, and instructional or serve-giving language. Example sentences include: "Jepni librat atyre, ju lutem" (Please give the books to them). "Jepni më shumë informacionin, ju lutem" (Please provide more information). The negative form "mos jepni" expresses a prohibition.

Notes on variation indicate that Albanian imperatives can differ by dialect and register; jepni is widely used in standard Albanian to address multiple people or in formal contexts, while jp is used for singular informal commands. Jepni thus exemplifies how Albanian marks mood, number, and formality through verb morphology.
