examples to be in Albanian language

-

In Albanian, the verb “to be” is “jam” in the present tense. It’s an irregular verb and changes form depending on the subject and tense. Here’s how to use “to be” in Albanian:

Present Tense:

  • Unë jam (I am)
  • Ti je (You are - singular)
  • Ai/Ajo është (He/She/It is)
  • Ne jemi (We are)
  • Ju jeni (You are - plural)
  • Ata/ato janë (They are)

Past Tense:

  • Unë isha (I was)
  • Ti ishe (You were - singular)
  • Ai/Ajo ishte (He/She/It was)
  • Ne ishim (We were)
  • Ju ishit (You were - plural)
  • Ata/ato ishin (They were)

Future Tense: Albanian does not have a distinct future tense for the verb “to be.” Instead, it often uses the present tense with a future time indicator.

Negative Form: To make the verb “to be” negative in Albanian, you add “nuk” before the verb.

  • Unë nuk jam (I am not)
  • Ti nuk je (You are not - singular)
  • Ai/Ajo nuk është (He/She/It is not)
  • Ne nuk jemi (We are not)
  • Ju nuk jeni (You are not - plural)
  • Ata/ato nuk janë (They are not)

Questions: To form questions, you typically invert the subject and the verb “to be.”

  • A jam unë? (Am I?)
  • A je ti? (Are you - singular?)
  • A është ai/ajo? (Is he/she/it?)
  • A jemi ne? (Are we?)
  • A jeni ju? (Are you - plural?)
  • A janë ata/ato? (Are they?)

These are the basic forms of “to be” in Albanian. Remember that context and additional words can affect the structure of the sentence1. 😊
