ndërtoni

Ndërtoni is an Albanian verb form derived from the verb ndërtoj, meaning to build or construct. It is used as the present tense form for the second person plural and as the imperative form for addressing a group. In standard Albanian, the same spelling, ndërtoni, can serve as both the plural present indicative (you all build) and the plural imperative (build!). The distinction relies on context and sentence structure.

Usage and meaning: When used as present tense, ndërtoni describes an ongoing action performed by multiple people. As an imperative, it functions as a command or exhortation directed at a group to undertake construction or building. The form follows the regular pattern of Albanian verbs in the second person plural for the present tense and imperative.

Examples:

- Ju ndërtoni një urë të re për qytetin. (You all build a new bridge for the city.)

- Ndërtoni një urë të re! (Build a new bridge!)

Relation to other forms: Ndërtoni is part of a larger verb paradigm built around ndërtoj. Related forms include unë ndërtoj (I build), ti ndërton (you build), ai/ajo ndërton (he/she builds), ne ndërtojmë (we build), and ata/ato ndërtojnë (they build). The noun ndërtim (construction) and the agent ndërtues (builder) are related terms in the same semantic field.
