auxillary verb in Albanian language

In Albanian grammar, auxiliary verbs are used to form various tenses and moods. The primary auxiliary verbs in Albanian are “jetë” (to be) and “kanë” (to have). Here’s a quick guide on how to use them:

Present Tense:

• “jetë” (to be)

  • 1st sing.: unë jam (I am)
  • 2nd sing.: ti je (you are)
  • 3rd sing.: ai/ajo është (he/she/it is)
  • 1st pl.: ne jemi (we are)
  • 2nd pl.: ju jeni (you are)
  • 3rd pl.: ata/ato janë (they are)

• “kanë” (to have)

  • 1st sing.: unë kam (I have)
  • 2nd sing.: ti ke (you have)
  • 3rd sing.: ai/ajo ka (he/she/it has)
  • 1st pl.: ne kemi (we have)
  • 2nd pl.: ju keni (you have)
  • 3rd pl.: ata/ato kanë (they have)

These verbs are irregular and are essential for constructing sentences in different tenses¹. For example, to form the perfect tense, you would use the auxiliary verb “kanë” with the past participle of the main verb.

Another important auxiliary verb is “do” (will), which is used to form the future tense². It deviates from regular verb inflection patterns and is crucial for expressing future actions.

Remember, these are just the basics, and Albanian verb conjugation can be quite intricate
