Detyrojnë

Detyrojnë is the present tense, third person plural form of the Albanian verb detyroj, meaning to force, compel, or oblige someone to do something. The construction typically pairs a person or group as the subject with an object in the accusative (a person who is being compelled) and an infinitive clause introduced by të, as in detyrojnë dikë të bëjë diçka. For example: Qeveria detyron qytetarët të paguajnë taksa (The government compels citizens to pay taxes); Kompanitë i detyrojnë punonjësit të punojnë orë shtesë (Companies compel employees to work overtime).

Usage notes and nuance:

Detyrojnë conveys external pressure or formal obligation, often applicable in legal, administrative, or organizational contexts. It is common in public discourse, news reporting, and policy language, but it is also used in everyday speech to express that someone is forced to do something. Related forms include detyroj (I force), detyron (he/she/it forces), detyrojmë (we force), and detyrojnë (they force). The noun detyrim means an obligation or duty, and detyruar describes someone who is obligated or compelled.

Related forms and contrasts:

The verb is typically not used reflexively in ordinary sense, but there are related expressions such as detyrohem, which means to become obligated or to feel oneself compelled, used with a similar të + infinitive construction in dependent clauses. Detyrojnë can thus be translated as “they force/compel/obligate” depending on context, and it often carries a sense of inevitability or legal duty rather than mere choice.

In summary, detyrojnë denotes external compulsion or obligation applied to others, and is a standard term across formal and informal Albanian contexts.
