lexojë

Lexojë is the present subjunctive, third-person singular form of the Albanian verb lexoj, which means to read. It is a member of Albanian mood morphology and appears in subordinate clauses after expressions that express desire, doubt, necessity, or possibility, or in indirect speech.

Formation and usage

In Albanian, the present subjunctive is used to indicate actions that are not stated as facts but are desired, required, possible, or imagined. The form lexojë specifically corresponds to the third-person singular in this mood. Other persons are formed with corresponding subjunctive endings, for example: që unë të lexoj (I may/read), që ti të lexosh (you may/read), që ne të lexojmë (we may/read), and that so on. The subjunctive is typically introduced by a conjunction such as që.

Typical contexts

Lexojë appears after phrases and verbs that express longing, recommendations, necessity, doubt, or uncertainty. It can also appear in indirect speech when reporting someone’s wishes or assumptions. The form helps distinguish non-assertive or potential meanings within a sentence.

Example sentences

Është e rëndësishme që ai të lexojë librin. (It is important that he reads the book.)

Dëshira ishte që ajo të lexojë një libër të gjatë. (The wish was that she read a long book.)

Notes

Lexojë is one of several present-subjunctive forms in Albanian and reflects the general pattern of -ojë endings used for third-person singular in this mood. Its exact usage follows standard Albanian syntax rules for subordinate clauses and mood distinction.
