kontribojnë

Kontribojnë is the Albanian present tense form of the verb meaning to contribute. Specifically, it is the third-person plural form, used with subjects such as “they” to express that these subjects make a contribution, whether in money, time, information, or effort. This form appears in neutral, everyday language as well as in formal writing.

Etymology and related forms: The Albanian verb contribue to the concept of contributing from the Latin verb con- tribuere, through Romance languages such as Italian conribruire/contribuire and French contribuer. Related Albanian terms include kontribut (contribution) and kontribues (contributor), which share the same root and are used to name or describe the person or thing that contributes.

Usage and examples: Kontribojnë is used to describe actions that add value or support to a cause, project, or organization. Examples include: Ata kontribuojnë me para në fondin e bamirësisë (They contribute money to the charity fund). Ata kontribuojnë me kohë dhe përpjekje në projekt (They contribute time and effort to the project). The form is versatile and appears in reporting, discussions about philanthropy, teamwork, and civic participation.

Notes: In Albanian, verbs change across person and number, so kontributojnë is specifically the third-person plural present; other forms exist for singular and other tenses to express similar ideas. The concept of contribution is commonly expressed with nouns such as kontribut (contribution) and the verb kontri- as a basis for related terms.
