- Aleksandri është me Albanin dhe qenin e vet.
Usage notes
Used in contexts where i tij (“his”), i saj (“her”) or i tyre (“their”) would be ambiguous. In the example sentence above, if "e vet" were replaced with "e tij", it would more likely refer to Alban's dog. The use of "vet" removes this ambiguity.
