shkruan

Shkruan is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Albanian verb shkruaj, which means “to write.” It is used to describe someone or something that writes in the present. In standard present-tense conjugation, other related forms include unë shkruaj (I write) and ti shkruan (you write), with ai/ajo shkruan corresponding to “he/she writes.”

The form shkruan appears in sentences such as Ai shkruan një letër (He writes a letter) or Ajo shkruan një poezi (She writes a poem). It is a regular, productive part of Albanian verb conjugation, and the same stem shkru- combines with different endings to form other tenses and moods. The past participle is shkruar, meaning “written.”

Phonetically, shkruan begins with the digraph sh, which represents the voiceless palato-alveolar fricative, followed by kruan. Albanian stress patterns typically place emphasis on a prominent syllable within the word, and in shkruan the emphasis falls on the root.

In usage, shkruan functions like the English “writes” in present-tense statements about writing activities, whether routine, ongoing, or as a description of a current action. It is part of everyday Albanian and appears across literature, journalism, and speech.
