përfundon

Përfundon is an Albanian verb form meaning “ends” or “finishes.” It is the third person singular present indicative of the verb përfund, which denotes bringing something to an end, completing it, or concluding it. The base noun fund means end or boundary, and the prefixed form për- conveys completion or bringing to a close.

Etymology and usage: The verb is built from the noun fund with the prefix për-, which in Albanian often signals bringing something to its conclusion. This construction is standard in modern Albanian and appears across dialects with the same core meaning.

Conjugation and forms: In standard Albanian, present tense forms include unë përfundoj (I finish), ti përfundon (you finish), ai/ajo përfundon (he/she finishes), ne përfundojmë (we finish), ju përfundoni (you finish), ata/ato përfundojnë (they finish). The past tense forms include përfundova (I finished), përfundove, përfundoi, përfunduam, përfunduat, përfunduan. The verb also appears in adjunctive or subjunctive contexts as in other Albanian verb forms.

Usage notes: Përfundon is used to indicate that a process, event, or period comes to an end. It can describe time-based conclusions (a class or meeting ends), completion of tasks, or the finishing of sequences. It is common in formal and informal registers and appears in both contemporary writing and speech.
