ndjekjen

Ndjekjen is a noun in Albanian meaning the act of pursuing or following. It is derived from the verb ndjek, meaning to chase or to follow, with the suffix -jen forming a noun that denotes an action or process. The term covers both literal pursuit—such as following a person, animal, or moving target—and figurative pursuit, such as striving to achieve a goal or conducting an investigation.

In usage, ndjekjen appears in a range of contexts. In everyday language it can describe someone persistently pursuing another person or a task, while in legal, security, or investigative contexts it may refer to the pursuit or tracking of a suspect, or to ongoing efforts to locate information. The word is a standard entry in Albanian dictionaries and is part of a family of related terms derived from the verb ndjek, including ndjekje (pursuit) and ndjekës (pursuer). As with many Albanian abstract nouns, ndjekjen can carry both concrete and metaphorical senses of pursuit depending on how it is used in a sentence.
