ndalojnë

Ndalojnë is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Albanian verb ndaloj, meaning “they stop” or “they prohibit.” It can refer to stopping physical movement, hindering progress, or prohibiting access, depending on context.

The infinitive is ndaloj. The root is ndal- and the present-tense plural ending is -ojnë. Ndaloj is a regular verb, so its present tense forms follow predictable patterns across persons, with ndalojnë specifically used for “they stop.”

Usage in Albanian covers a range of situations, including traffic stops, enforcement actions, and the imposition of rules or prohibitions. It is common in news reports, official statements, and everyday speech when describing actions taken by a group or authorities. For example, Ata ndalojnë makinën means “They stop the car,” and Ata ndalojnë hyrjen means “They prohibit/deny entry.”

Notes on form and related terms: ndalojnë is closely linked to the infinitive ndaloj and to related forms such as ndaloni (imperative plural) and ndaloj dër (variations across tenses and moods). The verb conveys both concrete stopping (a car, a person) and more abstract prohibitions (entry, access, or progress).
