përfiton

Përfiton is the present-tense, third-person singular form of the Albanian verb përfitoj, meaning to benefit or to profit. It is used to describe someone or something gaining an advantage, a positive outcome, or financial gain from a situation, action, or investment. The word is common in both everyday speech and formal writing.

Etymology and related forms: The verb përfitoj is formed with the prefix për- attached to fitoj (to win or to earn). The related noun përfitim denotes the benefit or profit itself, while the third-person plural present is përfitojnë. The corresponding past participle is përfituar. These forms share the same root as fitoj, reflecting the idea of gaining or earning.

Conjugation: In the present indicative, the forms are: unë përfitoj, ti përfiton, ai/ajo përfiton, ne përfitojmë, ju përfitoni, ata/ato përfitojnë. The past participle përfituar is used to form compound tenses, and the noun përfitim refers to a benefit or profit.

Usage: The verb is used across economic, professional, and everyday contexts to indicate that someone or something gains an advantage from a circumstance. Examples: Ai përfiton nga kontrata e re. Ajo përfiton nga teknologjia e re. The sense is neutral, describing actual gains without inherent value judgments, though it often conveys a favorable outcome.
