The first form of a verb is always the infinitive (e.g.: me shku 'to go'). After that, there are three conjugated forms: the first person singular present (shkoj 'I go'), followed by the first person singular aorist (shkova 'I went'), and lastly the first person singular imperfect (shkojsha 'I went'). In English, there is only one tense referring to the past with which both the aorist and the imperfect are translated here: the simple past. In Albanian, however, the aorist refers to a completed action or event in the past, which happened only once, while the imperfect refers to a repeated action or a series of events in the past.
The indicated noun is always the indefinite nominative singular (e.g. kerr 'car'). Afterwards, there is the definite nominative singular form (kerri 'the car'), as well as the indefinite nominative plural (kerre 'cars'), and the definite nominative plural (kerret ‘the cars’).
