reduktojnë

Reduktojnë is an Albanian verb form that means “they reduce.” It is the present tense, third-person plural form of the verb reduktoj (to reduce). The infinitive is reduktoj, and in the present tense the standard ending -ojnë is attached to the stem, producing reduktojnë. This pattern is common among Albanian verbs with stems ending in -ktoj, where the plural ending becomes -tojnë.

Etymology and usage: The verb reduktoj is a Romance-influenced Albanian loanword, tracing back to Latin reducere and related Romance forms such as Italian ridurre or French réduire. It entered Albanian vocabulary to express the act of decreasing quantities, amounts, or intensities, and it is used across domains such as economics, administration, science, and everyday speech. In practice, reduktojnë is used with plural subjects, for example: Ata reduktojnë shpenzimet publike (They reduce public expenditures).

Morphology and related forms: The corresponding singular present is redukon (he/she reduces), while the infinitive remains reduktoj. The past tense form is reduktova (I reduced), and the passive or participial form is reduktuar (reduced). A related noun is reduktim, meaning reduction.
