përfaqësova

përfaqësova is the first‑person singular past tense form of the Albanian verb përfaqësuar, which means “to represent” or “to portray”. The verb is derived from the noun përfaqësim, meaning “representation” or “portrayal”, and is commonly used in both spoken and written Albanian. In grammar, përfaqësova follows the regular pattern for transitive verbs ending in -uar, with the –ova suffix indicating the simple past tense for the first person singular.

The form appears frequently in contexts where an individual speaks about an act of representation, such as serving as a delegate, acting as an ambassador, or depicting a figure in artistic works. For example, an official may say: “Kush është shumë i përfaqësova në muajin e fundit” (I represented in last month), or an artist may note: “Përfaqësova karakterin e ndryshëm në këtë skenë” (I portrayed the character differently in this scene). The verb also appears in idiomatic expressions related to identity and association, e.g., “Një nënshkrim përfaqësova numrat e mëdha” (My signature represented the big numbers).

In contemporary usage, zarówno the past tense form is employed in formal reports, speeches, and archival documentation, while the present tense form, përfaqësoj, is used in everyday speech when describing ongoing representation. Variazione gramaticali also include the passive form, përfaqësuar, indicating that something has been represented by someone else. The extensive use of the term in political, cultural, and artistic discourse underscores its importance in the Albanian language.
