përdorin

Përdorin is the Albanian present indicative form of the verb përdor, meaning to use. It is the third-person plural form, used with subjects such as ata or ato (they use). The infinitive is përdor, and the present tense forms for other persons include përdor unë (I use), përdor ti (you use), përdor ai/ajo (he/she uses), përdorim ne (we use), përdorni ju (you use).

Përdor is transitive and takes a direct object, as in Ata përdorin makinat e reja për të shkuar në punë (They use the new cars to go to work) or Ata përdorin mjete dixhitale për të komunikuar (They use digital tools to communicate). The meaning covers using tools, methods, language, resources, or approaches in both concrete and figurative senses.

Etymology and related forms: The verb stems from përdor-, the root meaning “to use.” Related forms include përdorimi (usage, utilization), përdorues (user), and përdoruesit (the users). These derivations are common in discussions of technique, resources, or how something is employed.

Usage notes: Përdorin is neutral and widely used across registers. In more formal or specialized contexts, alternatives such as shfrytëzojnë (utilize) may appear, though përdororin remains a standard, everyday option for saying “they use.” Examples illustrating contemporary usage are frequent in media, instruction, and technical writing.
