Easy classroom explanation

Shpjegim i thjeshtë për klasën

Many Albanian students become confused because English answers the fact, not the form of the question.

Shumë nxënës shqiptarë ngatërrohen sepse anglishtja i përgjigjet faktit, jo formës së pyetjes.

Question:

✔ Aren't you tired?
✔ A nuk je i lodhur?

If the truth is:

✔ I am tired.
✔ Jam i lodhur.

Answer:

✔ Yes, I am.
✔ Po, jam.

---

If the truth is:

✔ I am not tired.
✔ Nuk jam i lodhur.

Answer:

✔ No, I'm not.
✔ Jo, nuk jam.

---

More examples

✔ Didn't John come?
✔ A nuk erdhi John?

He came.

✔ Yes, he did.
✔ Po, erdhi.

---

He didn't come.

✔ No, he didn't.
✔ Jo, nuk erdhi.

---

Golden Rule

YES = the statement is true.
YES = pohimi është i vërtetë.

NO = the statement is not true.
NO = pohimi nuk është i vërtetë.

Never say:

❌ Yes, I'm not.
❌ Yes, he didn't.

Because yes and not (or didn't) contradict each other.

This is one of the most common mistakes made by Albanian learners of English.
