kënduan

Kënduan is the third-person plural past tense form (aorist) of the Albanian verb këndoj, meaning “to sing.” It is used in Standard Albanian to describe a completed action of singing performed by a group in the past.

Conjugation and example: Unë këndova, ti këndove, ai këndoi, ne kënduam, ju kënduat, ata kënduan. An example sentence is: Ata kënduan këngën e tyre në mbrëmje. The form kënduan appears specifically for “they sang,” while other persons use distinct past-tense endings. This form is part of the regular past simple (aorist) system of Albanian verbs and is commonly encountered in narrative, folk songs, and descriptive past-tense passages.
