Dorëzoni

Dorëzoni is the second-person plural and formal imperative form of the Albanian verb dorëzoj, meaning to hand over, deliver, or surrender something to another party or to an authority. It is used as a command or request addressed to more than one person or to a single person in a formal register.

The infinitive of the verb is dorëzoj. Related forms include dorëzuar, the past participle meaning handed over, and dorëzim, the noun for the act of handing over or surrendering. The imperative form dorëzoni appears in numerous contexts where an instruction to deliver or surrender is needed, such as official notices, law enforcement, or procedural instructions.

Etymology-wise, dorëzoj is built from dorë, meaning hand, combined with a common Albanian verb-forming suffix. The word emphasizes the act of transferring possession or authority from one party to another.

Usage examples:

- Dorëzoni armët tek autoritetet. (Deliver the weapons to the authorities.)

- Dorëzoni veten policisë sa më shpejt. (Surrender yourselves to the police as soon as possible.)

Dorëzoni differs from dorëzo, which is the singular informal form, and from dorëzoj in its grammatical number and level of formality. It is widely understood in Albanian-speaking regions, including Albania, Kosovo, and western North Macedonia, and appears in legal, administrative, and everyday instructions.
