shpresojnë

Shpresojnë is the Albanian present tense form meaning “they hope.” It is the third-person plural form of the verb shpresoj, which means “to hope.” The term is used to express expectation or desire that something will happen and is commonly followed by a clause introduced with që (that) or by other constructions expressing future or possibility.

In its present indicative forms, shpresoj has the following paradigm: unë shpresoj, ti shpreson, ai/ajo shpreson, ne shpresojmë, ju shpresoni, ata/ato shpresojnë. The form shpresojnë specifically marks a plural subject. The verb is frequently used in negative sentences with nuk, as in “Ata nuk shpresojnë që situata të përmirësohet.” Context often clarifies the subject since certain forms (such as shpreson and shpresojnë) can share identical spellings with different persons.

Etymology and related forms: shpresojnë derives from the noun shpresë, meaning “hope,” with a common Albanian verb suffix. Related forms include the infinitive shpresoj (to hope) and other tenses built from the same root, such as shpresojmë (we hope) and shpresoni (you all hope).

It frequently appears with qënjë or që to introduce the hoped-for outcome, e.g., “Ata shpresojnë që ndryshimi të vijë” (They hope that the change will come). The verb conveys optimism or anticipated positive results in a wide range of contexts.
