shprehin

Shprehin is a verb form used in Albanian to mean “they express” or “they articulate.” It is employed when the subject of a sentence is plural, indicating that multiple people or entities are expressing thoughts, feelings, or opinions.

In Albanian, shprehin belongs to a family of verbs linked to the root shpreh- and is closely related to the noun shprehje, which means expression or articulation. The form is common in standard Albanian and appears across formal writing, journalism, and everyday speech, with pronunciation that can vary slightly between dialects such as Gheg and Tosk.

Usage examples include sentences like Ata shprehin mendimet e tyre, meaning “They express their thoughts.” The form is also found in discussions of communication, rhetoric, and public discourse, where speakers describe how groups convey messages, intentions, or viewpoints. As with many Albanian verbs, its exact usage can shift with context and register, but the core meaning remains centered on expressing or articulating.
