Korespondohet

Korespondohet is a verb form in Albanian grammar that functions as the present passive of the verb korespondo, meaning to correspond. In this form, the action of corresponding is described as being performed upon the subject, rather than performed by the subject.

Formation and grammar notes

The passive form is created by combining the root korespondo with the passive suffix -het. Korespondohet is typically classified as a regular present passive form and aligns with other Albanian verbs that take the same suffix to signal passive voice, such as lexohet (is read) and dërgohet (is sent). The form can appear in epistemic, administrative, and formal prose when describing processes of correspondence.

Usage and context

Korespondohet is most common in formal or bureaucratic registers, where the writer describes actions of communication, documentation, or correspondence. It is less frequent in everyday spoken Albanian, where speakers often use more direct active constructions or alternative periphrastic expressions. When used, the passive voice allows the focus to shift from the agent of the action to the occurrence or state of the subject involved in the correspondence.
