Aplikohen

Aplikohen is the present tense, third-person plural form of the Albanian verb aplikoj, meaning to apply, use, or implement. It is primarily used in the passive voice to indicate that something is being applied or put into practice, rather than actively performed by a subject. The form is common in formal or technical language and is used when discussing rules, procedures, methods, measures, or treatments that are applied.

Etymology and form: Aplikoj is a loanword in Albanian, generally traced to Italian applicare (to apply) and related Latin forms. In Albanian, the verb follows the standard -oj verb pattern. The passive present form for third-person plural is aplikohen, aligning with other Albanian verbs that use the passive construction to express actions done to the subject.

Usage context: Aplikohen appears in legal, administrative, scientific, and policy-oriented texts to state that certain measures, standards, or procedures are being applied. It can also denote that a technique or method is being utilized in practice. In everyday speech, speakers might prefer more common verbs like zbatohet (is implemented) or përdoret (is used), but aplikohen is widely understood and appropriate in formal discourse.

Related terms: aplikim (application or implementation), aplikues (the user or agent who applies), zbatohet (is implemented), përdoret (is used).

Example sentence: Masat e reja aplIKohen nga autoritetet. This sentence demonstrates the use of aplikohen to express that the new measures are being applied by the authorities. Note that, as with all verb forms, correct usage depends on subject, tense, and voice within the sentence.
