Formulohet

Formulohet is a term in Albanian grammar meaning “is formulated” or “is being formulated.” It is the present passive form of the verb that expresses the act of formulating or shaping a formulation, proposal, plan, or text. In Albanian, this form is used to describe something that is produced or defined through a process of formulation, without specifying the agent responsible for the action.

Grammatically, formulohet corresponds to the third-person singular present passive. The corresponding plural form is formulohen. The construction can appear with a direct subject, such as a bill, a plan, or a policy, and it may be followed by an agent phrase introduced with a preposition, typically nga (by) or nga ana e (by the side of/through the efforts of). For example, "Ligji formulohet nga komisioni" translates to "The bill is formulated by the commission."

Usage notes: formulohet is common in formal, policy, academic, or administrative language. It emphasizes the process of formulation rather than the person performing it. It can be used in impersonal statements, project descriptions, or legal contexts where the act of formulating is the focus.

Etymology: the form derives from the root formulo-, related to the concept of creating a formula or explicit statement, with the standard Albanian passive suffix -ohet for present tense, third-person singular agreement.
