Dorëzimi

Dorëzimi is a noun in Albanian that denotes the act of handing over or delivering something to someone else, as well as the act of surrender. It is used to describe the transfer of goods, documents, or authority, and can also refer to surrender in a military or legal sense. The term stems from the verb dorëzoj, formed from dorë (hand) and the suffix -zim, which marks an action or process. The related participle dorëzuar means “handed over,” and the definite form dorëzimi corresponds to “the surrender” or “the delivery.”

In everyday and official use, dorëzimi covers a range of situations. It can refer to delivering a package or documents to another party, handing over property or assets to a custodian or authority, or transferring control in administrative or legal procedures. In a security or criminal context, dorëzimi can indicate surrender to law enforcement or authorities. In historical or political contexts, it may describe the surrender of a city, troops, or weapons. The exact meaning is determined by the surrounding words and the intended sense—delivery, transfer of possession, or surrender.

Translations into English vary with context and may include delivery, handover, transfer, or surrender. Dorëzimi is a neutral term used across legal, administrative, and everyday language to describe the act of handing something over or yielding control.
