ndërtoj

== Albanian == === Etymology === From archaic *ndërtokë (“underground”), the first part ndër- (“under”) from *(H)n̥dʰér and the second part tokë (“land, ground”), with an original meaning of "to lay foundations". Orel suggests a contraction of Romance *directare, but semantic problems and the prefix ndër- makes the theory unlikely. Matzinger claims it has no known etymology. === Verb === ndërtoj (aorist ndërtova, participle ndërtuar) (transitive) to build ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === References === === Further reading === “ndërtoj”, in FGJSH: Fjalor i gjuhës shqipe [Dictionary of the Albanian language] (in Albanian), 2006 FGJSSH: Fjalor i gjuhës së sotme shqipe [Dictionary of the modern Albanian language]‎[1], 1980
