Formohet

Formohet is an Albanian verb form meaning “is formed” or “be formed.” It represents the present tense passive (or middle) form of the verb formoj, which means “to form” or “to shape.” The word is used to indicate that the subject undergoes the action of forming rather than performing it.

Morphology and related forms: In the present tense passive, formohet is used for third-person singular subjects. The corresponding plural form is formohen (“they are formed”). The active present form is formon (“he/she forms”). The past participle is formuar, which is used with auxiliary verbs to create perfect or passive constructions, such as është formuar (“has been formed”) or janë formuar (“have been formed”).

Usage: formohet is common in grammar, science, and descriptive prose when outlining processes that produce a form, structure, or state without specifying an agent. It appears in formal and technical writing to describe how something comes into being, develops, or is constructed. As a grammatical item, it helps distinguish the passive voice from the active form formon and relates to other passive constructions such as formohen and është formuar.

Etymology: formohet derives from formoj, the verb meaning to form or to shape, with the suffix that marks the present passive for this class of Albanian verbs. This pattern is part of the broader Albanian system for forming passive and middle voice across different tenses.

Note: As with many Albanian verbs, formohet is best understood in relation to its active counterpart (formon) and its passive participle (formuar), which together cover the common ways to express formation in the language.
