1. Objective

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

2. I discover

Compare the pairs. Which words change? What must stay identical in meaning?

3. I understand

Rephrasing keeps the meaning while changing wording or structure. Markers such as “me fjalë të tjera” or “domethënë” can introduce a rephrasing, but meaning still has to remain stable.

Takimi u shty për shkak të shiut.Për shkak të shiut, takimi nuk u zhvillua në orarin e planifikuar.Ndoshta Arta do të vijë më vonë.Ka mundësi që Arta të vijë më vonë.Duhet ta dërgosh formularin sot.Është e nevojshme që formulari të dërgohet sot.

Watch out

Pay special attention to modality: “mund”, “duhet” and “ndoshta” do not express the same degree of certainty or obligation.

4. Guided practice

5. Independent practice

6. I write / I speak

Explain why each pair keeps the same meaning despite a different structure.

7. Check-up

8. Remember

Say it differently, not something different: information, logical relation and degree of certainty must remain stable.
