1. Objective

By the end, you will recognise and explain “The admirative mood” in natural Albanian examples.

2. I discover

Read these sentences as discoveries made at the moment of speaking. What has the speaker just noticed in each one?

3. I understand

The Albanian admirative often expresses discovery, surprise or information the speaker has just realised. The form must match person and tense.

Sa bukur qenka këtu!Qenke shumë i lodhur sot.Paska ardhur edhe Arta!Qenka mbyllur dera.Paskeni punuar gjithë natën!Qenkan shumë të qeta rrugët sot.
Watch out

Do not automatically translate it as “apparently”. Depending on context, it can express surprise, discovery or astonishment.
