përshpejtoi

Përshpejtoi is an Albanian verb form that conveys the idea of making something faster or speeding up a process, mechanism, or action. It is associated with the infinitive përshpejtoj, which means to accelerate or hasten.

Etymology and form: The term derives from the combination of the prefix për- and the root shpejt-, meaning fast, with the usual Albanian verb morphology. Përshpejtoj denotes the base meaning “to speed up,” while përshpejtoi is the past tense form used to say that someone or something accelerated in a given context. The form is part of the regular conjugation pattern for verbs ending in -oj.

Usage: Përshpejtoi appears in both technical language and everyday speech. It can describe increasing the speed of a vehicle or engine, accelerating a process in project management or research, or hastening any operation or sequence of events. In narrative or descriptive prose, it is used to indicate that speed was increased in the past, as in the clause ai/ajo përshpejtoi procesin.

See also: përshpejtim (acceleration), shpejt (fast), shpejtësi (speed), përshpejtim (to speed up).

Notes: Albanian orthography and pronunciation reflect standard usage, with the diacritic marks indicating vowel quality. As with many Albanian verbs, forms of përshpejtoj/përshpejtoi vary by person and tense, but the core meaning remains “to speed up.”
