mbërrijnë

Mbërrijnë is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Albanian verb mbërrij, meaning to arrive or reach after a journey. It translates to “they arrive” and is used when the subject is plural, referring to people or things that have reached a destination or completed a journey. The verb often appears with prepositions such as në (to/at) or nga (from) to indicate the destination or origin.

In use, mbërrijnë describes the act of arriving at a place. It can refer to everyday arrivals as well as formal contexts, and it is commonly heard in news, travel reports, and conversational Albanian. It contrasts with mbërrij (I arrive / you arrive) and mbërrin (he/she/it arrives), which cover other subject forms within the same verb.

Conjugation note: in the present tense, the forms are unë mbërrij, ti mbërrij, ai/ajo mbërrin, ne mbërrijmë, ju mbërrini, ata/ato mbërrijnë. Thus, mbërrijnë specifically marks the third-person plural.

Examples:

- Ata mbërrijnë në stacion pas një udhëtimi të gjatë. (They arrive at the station after a long journey.)

- Kur mbërrijnë? Ata mbërrijnë sot në mesditë. (When do they arrive? They arrive today at noon.)

Etymology and usage notes: mbërrij is a native Albanian verb, with mbërrijnë as one of its standard present-tense forms. The term is part of core vocabulary and appears across spoken and written Albanian to express arrival or attainment of a destination.
