gënjeshtar/gënjeshtare
gënjeshtar - used for male
gënjeshtare - used for female
Ti je gënjeshtar - (You are a lier) - male
Ti je gënjeshtare - (You are a lier) - female
In Albanian, it is not neccessary to say "You, or I or he etc, since you the person is included in the verb. So you can even say: "Je gënjeshtar" (male) or "Je gënjeshtare" (female) and still use a correct grammar.
If you really want to say it in a formal way, it would be:
"Ju jeni gënjeshtar" or "Jeni gënjeshtar" for male.
or
"Ju jeni gënjeshtare" or "Jeni gënjeshtare" for female.
It all depends on how you want to use it.
Between friends, people we know well or with people of the same age or younger we use the informal way.
Hope this helps.
