vazhdojë

Vazhdojë is an Albanian verb form meaning “that he/she continues” or “let him/her continue.” It is the third-person singular present subjunctive form of the verb vazhdoj, which means “to continue.” In Albanian, the subjunctive is used in dependent clauses to express wishes, hopes, possibilities, or hypothetical actions, and it commonly follows particles such as që or the phrase të.

Usage and examples:

- Shpresoj që ai të vazhdojë me studimet. (I hope that he continues with his studies.)

- Le të vazhdojë. (Let him/her continue.)

Morphology and related forms:

- Vazhdojë appears in constructions requiring the present subjunctive, particularly after conjunctions like që të. Other persons in the present subjunctive include të vazhdosh (2nd singular), të vazhdojë (3rd singular, same form as the entry), të vazhdojmë (1st plural), të vazhdoni (2nd plural), and të vazhdojnë (3rd plural).

- The form is derived from the verb vazhdoj and is closely related to the noun vazhdim, meaning “continuation.”

Notes:

- Vazhdojë is standard Albanian and is used in both formal and everyday speech. Its function is primarily syntactic, signaling mood (subjunctive) rather than a separate lexical meaning beyond “to continue.”

- The infinitive of the verb is vazhdow? In practice, Albanian uses vazhdoj as the present tense base, with vazhdojë functioning as the subjunctive form in appropriate clauses.
