2. I discover

Look at the Albanian examples for “Negation with nuk — identify and understand”. Identify the changing form before translating word for word.

3. I understand

Basic negation uses “nuk” before the verb group. With short object pronouns, they stay close to the verb: “nuk e di”. Focus on the whole verb group, not just “nuk”.
