shikoni

Shikoni is a common Albanian verb form meaning "look" or "watch." It is the second-person plural imperative of the verb shikoj and is used to instruct or urge a group of listeners to look at something or pay attention. In everyday speech, the singular imperative is shiko, while shikoni is used when addressing more than one person, or, in some contexts, as a formal or general instruction.

Grammatical notes: Shikoj is a regular -oj verb, and its imperative forms include shikoni for plural. The negative form is mos shikoni. It can take a direct object, as in Shikoni këto fotografi (Look at these photographs) or Shikoni çfarë po ndodh (Look at what is happening).

Usage and context: Shikoni appears across conversation, signage, media, and advertising as a direct command to attract attention. It is not a proper noun and does not refer to a specific place or entity unless used as part of a larger phrase or title.

Variations and related forms include shiko (singular imperative), shikojnë (they look), and shikimi (the act of looking). The term is widely understood by Albanian speakers and is a standard element of Albanian grammar and everyday communication.
