In Albanian grammar, what role does the particle 'të' serve in the phrase 'dua të mësoj'?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Subjunctive marker introducing the mënyra lidhore
- Step 1: 'Të' serves as the grammatical mood marker that governs the subjunctive verb (mënyra lidhore) replacing the infinitive in standard Tosk-based Albanian. Answer: Subjunctive marker introducing the mënyra lidhore. Why not the others: While 'të' can be a genitive particle elsewhere, in verbal syntax before finite verbs it marks the subjunctive.
