përjetojnë

përjetojnë is a verb form in Albanian. It is the present tense, third-person plural form of the verb përjetoj, which means to experience or to endure. This form is used when referring to multiple subjects who undergo events, emotions, or states of being, emphasizing a lived experience rather than mere knowledge.

In Albanian grammar, the present indicative forms include unë përjeto, ti përjeton, ai/ajo përjeton, ne përjetojmë, ju përjetoni, and ata/ato përjetojnë. Therefore, përjetojnë corresponds specifically to “they experience” or “they undergo.” The verb can be used transitively, taking a direct object such as ndjenjë (feeling), ngjarje (event), or ndryshime (changes), among others.

Usage and nuance: përjetojnë describes a broad range of experiences, from daily moments to significant life events. It can convey positive experiences, such as joy or fulfillment, as well as challenging or difficult ones, such as hardship or trauma. The emphasis is on the subject’s active experience of something rather than simply acknowledging it.

Related forms and etymology: the verb derives from the root përjet- and is connected to the noun përjetim (experience) and the adjective përjetues (experiencer). The past participle is përjetuar, meaning “experienced.” These related forms help express different aspects of experiential meaning in Albanian.
