Understanding the Definite Article in Shqip
In Shqip, the definite article is used to talk about something specific. It's like saying 'the' in English. When you use the definite article, people know exactly what you're talking about.
Important Points
- Masculine Singular: Add '-i' or '-u' to the end of the noun.
- Feminine Singular: Add '-a' or '-ja' to the end of the noun.
- Masculine Plural: Add '-t' to the end of the noun.
- Feminine Plural: Add '-t' to the end of the noun.
Let's look at some examples to understand how to use the definite article.
Examples
- Libri është në tavolinë. (Libri means the book.)
- Shtëpia është e madhe. (Shtëpia means the house.)
- Djemtë luajnë në park. (Djemtë means the boys.)
Remember, the definite article helps you talk about something specific, like 'the book' or 'the house'. It changes based on whether the noun is masculine or feminine and whether it's singular or plural.
