1. Objective

By the end, you will use “Rephrasing in Albanian” in a real spoken or written situation.

2. I discover

These rephrasings are freer. Watch the degree of caution: possibility, provisional status and suggestion.

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.

Ky vendim mund të sjellë disa vështirësi.Me fjalë të tjera, vendimi mund ta bëjë situatën më të vështirë.Plani nuk është përfundimtar.Domethënë, ende mund të bëhen ndryshime.Do të ishte më mirë ta diskutonim përsëri.Ndoshta duhet ta hapim edhe një herë diskutimin.

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

Rephrase three ideas while keeping exactly the same degree of certainty or caution.

7. Check-up

8. Remember

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