Albanian term or phrase: vetë i tretë
I have this expression twice in a newspaper interview:
"Pas kësaj pritë, vrasësit do të mund të qëllojnë mbi F., po vetë i tretë në të mbrëmjes"
and
"Pas pak kohe vritet vetë i tretë në Q., tek po kthehej nga puna si polic"
It looks like putting an emphasis to the phrase, nothing like number 3. (I know very little of colloquial Albanian...) Could somebody give me an English equivalent?
