shpjeg

Shpjeg is the Albanian stem associated with the verb to explain. The standard infinitive is shpjegoj, and the related noun shpjegim denotes an explanation or the act of explaining. The root appears in a range of related forms such as shpjegues (an explainer) and in various phrases that express clarification or justification.

In usage, shpjegoj functions as a normal verb within Albanian sentence structure and is conjugated according to person and number. Present indicative forms include unë shpjegoj (I explain), ti shpjegon (you explain), ai/ajo shpjegon (he/she explains), ne shpjegojmë (we explain), ju shpjegoni (you explain), ata/ato shpjegojnë (they explain). The verb can combine with objects or clauses to provide defining or clarifying information, and it is common in education, journalism, and everyday discourse.

The noun shpjegim refers to the explanation itself or the act of explaining. Examples include: “Kjo është shpjegimi i konceptit” (This is the explanation of the concept) and “Ne dhënë shpjegime të detajuara” (We provide detailed explanations). The term is distinct from related vocabulary such as përshkrim (description) and përmendje (mention), where shpjegim emphasizes clarification and justification.
