Imponohen

Imponohen is an Albanian verb form meaning “are imposed” or “is imposed,” depending on the subject, and is the present passive form of imponoj, which means to impose. The verb is used when the action of imposing is carried out by an external agent on someone or something else. It is common in formal, administrative, and legal language, where rules, obligations, measures, and restrictions are described as being imposed by authorities or laws.

Morphology and usage notes:

In present tense, the singular subject uses imponohet, while the plural subject uses imponohen. The agent performing the imposing is typically introduced with the preposition nga (by), as in phrases describing actions taken by the law, the state, or other authorities. The passive voice emphasizes the effect on the receiving party rather than the actor.

Typical contexts:

- Detyrimet imponohen nga ligji. (Obligations are imposed by the law.)

- Rregullat imponohen nga autoritetet. (The rules are imposed by the authorities.)

- Masa të reja imponohen për të siguruar sigurinë publike. (New measures are imposed to ensure public safety.)

Etymology and reach:

The verb imponoj is of Latin origin, with Albanian adaptation through centuries of language contact and standardization. Imponohen, as a present passive form, appears regularly in analyses of legal texts, policy documents, and government communications.
