Dëshirohen

Dëshirohen is an Albanian verb form that functions as the present passive plural of the verb dëshiroj, meaning to desire or to want. In English, it is typically translated as “they are desired” or “they are wanted.” The form is used when the subject is the recipient of the act of desiring or when something is described as desired by others.

Morphology and usage notes: Dëshirohen is formed from the stem dëshiro- plus the plural passive suffix -hen. It corresponds to the singular passive form dëshirohet (he/she/it is desired) and to other passive constructions that express that something is desired by people or groups. The passive sense is common in formal or written Albanian and is often used to indicate consensus or expectation among several actors.

Typical contexts: The passive form appears mainly in formal, administrative, or contractual language, where it conveys that certain conditions, criteria, or wishes are sought or desired by stakeholders. In everyday speech, speakers more often use active constructions, but dëshirohen can still appear when the emphasis is on the desirability of a condition or outcome rather than on who desires it.

Examples: Kriteret dëshirohen nga të gjitha palët. The criteria are desired by all parties. Additionally, the form can be encountered in instructional or policy texts to indicate that certain terms or conditions are desired by the issuer or by a collective.

Relationship to related terms: The noun dëshirë means desire; i dëshiruar (or dëshiruar) means desired; dëshiroj is the active form “I desire.” These related forms share the same semantic field of wanting and desirability.
