    What a coincidence!! I saw my first Albanian video also two years ago in May
    And I agree, it's very unusual and beautiful language, it's my most favourite language so far.

    Oh no, and I haven't even started asking about the aorist! But!! No sweat!!! Thanks to Haydee I'm the proud owner now of a full-fledged super-de-luxe Albanian Grammar that, no doubt, will answer all questions I care to ask, and a great many I don't even dare to ask.

    Thanks, nertila. I already emailed the people at verbix.com. The site claims that "Verbix conjugates correctly all verbs it knows." (and "If user enters a verb that Verbix doesn't know, Verbix tries to conjugate it assuming that the verb is regular"), but that's not the case. Otherwise it could have been a very useful site - hopefully they'll fix it in the future though.

    Can u help me? What does it mean paska, paskeni? My albanian friends often write it in comments and I cannot find this word

    paska - he/she has, or there is
    paskeni - you have (you is plural like russian вы)

    it's in admirative mood, so when they say it they express surprise or admiration.

    do u know albanian, btw?

    We also have the proper albanian word "at" as in "atdhe" (fatherland) which I believe is of IndoEuropean origin, in the same vein as the latin p"at"er and the english f"at"ther.

    this phrase needs context
    i think it's something like that:

    it's about Ukraine, not Tirana, don't misunderstand me

    Post Help with Albanian lyrics and translations

    I see no one has been here in this thread lately. I have recently discovered muzikė shqiptare dhe tė gjuhės and have downloaded many songs.
    However, I have posted some songs for lyrics and translations and have not seen any responses lately. I would GREATLY appreciate it if some Albanian speakers would be so kind as to check them out for me.

    Shumė falemnderit
    Gott zur Ehr, dem nächsten zur Wehr

    What if they gave a fire and nobody came.
