përfaqësuam

përfaqësuam is the first-person plural simple past tense form of the Albanian verb përfaqësoj, meaning to represent, stand for, or embody. In English, it is usually rendered as "we represented" or "we stood for." The verb is used in standard Albanian across formal and informal contexts.

Morphology and usage: It is formed from the stem përfaqës- with the past-tense ending -uam to indicate the first-person plural. The related noun is përfaqësim (representation), and the related adjective is përfaqësues (representative). Other verb forms include përfaqësoj (present: I represent), përfaqësova (I represented), and përfaqësuar (represented, past participle).

Context and meaning: The term commonly appears in political, diplomatic, legal, and organizational settings to describe actions where a person or group acted on behalf of others, a party, a client, or a constituency. It can also be used more figuratively to mean that something embodies or typifies a concept or value. Example constructions include "Ne përfaqësuam interesat e klientëve në bisedimet e sotme" or "Partia përfaqësoi votuesit në zgjedhje."

Notes: Albanian verb forms agree with person, number, and tense, and diacritics (ë, ç) are important for meaning and pronunciation. The form përfaqësuam should be distinguished from other person forms like përfaqësova (I represented) or përfaqësuan (they represented).
