Formësoni

Formësoni is a verb in the Albanian language that denotes the action of shaping, forming, or molding something. It is used for both physical processes—such as shaping clay or metal—and metaphorical ones, such as shaping a plan, a skill, or a character. The sense of the word emphasizes giving a definite form or structure to a subject and guiding its development toward a chosen outcome.

Formësoni is the second-person plural imperative form of the verb formësoj. It is used to instruct a group to engage in the act of shaping. Examples include: "Formësoni një plan të detajuar për projektin" (Shape a detailed plan for the project) and "Ai formësoi karakterin e tij përmes disiplinës" (He formed his character through discipline). The verb also appears in other tenses and moods with related forms such as formësoj (I shape), formësim (shaping/formation), and formues (shaper).

Etymology: formësoni and the related verb formësoj descend from the root form- and are typically traced to the Latin forma through Romance intermediaries such as Italian formare, reflecting a common Albanian pattern of borrowing for verbs of shaping or configuring. This etymological link aligns formësoni with cognate terms in related Romance languages while maintaining its distinctive Albanian usage and morphology.
