ojnë

ojnë is a grammatical suffix in Albanian used to mark the third-person plural form of the present tense for many verbs. It is attached to the stem of the verb to indicate “they do” or “they are doing,” and its exact spelling can vary slightly due to phonological rules and vowel harmony. The ending is a recognizable feature of present tense construction in standard Albanian.

In use, verbs with the -ojnë ending form the present tense for “they.” Examples include punojnë (they work), lexojnë (they read), shikojnë (they look), dëgjojnë (they hear), and dërgojnë (they send). While -ojnë is the common ending, some verbs may exhibit minor stem changes or spelling adjustments to preserve pronunciation, but the overall function of the ending remains consistent: it marks the third-person plural present tense. The suffix is not a standalone word; it is part of the verb form and appears across many conjugation classes in Albanian.
