Modifikohen

Modifikohen is an Albanian verb form that appears in the present passive voice. It corresponds to the idea that something “is modified” or “is being modified” by an agent. In everyday and technical language, modifikohen is used to describe changes applied to objects, systems, or data without specifying who performs the modification.

Morphology and usage

Modifikohen is the present passive, third-person plural form of the verb modifikoj (to modify). The base of the form is modifik-, with the present passive suffix -ohen. This pattern mirrors other Albanian passive forms such as lexohen (is read) or shihen (are seen). Because it is a passive construction, the agent causing the modification may be implicit or unnamed.

Contexts and nuance

The term is common in technical, scientific, software, engineering, and manufacturing contexts, where processes systematically alter inputs to achieve desired outcomes. It also appears in data handling and privacy discussions, where data or records are modified to meet standards or restrictions. The passive form emphasizes the result of modification rather than the actor.

Examples

Produktet modifikohen për të përmbushur kërkesat e klientëve. (The products are modified to meet customer requirements.)

Të dhënat modifikohen për të ruajtur privatësinë. (The data are modified to preserve privacy.)

Sistemet modifikohen automatikisht pas përditësimeve. (The systems are modified automatically after updates.)

Notes

As a grammatical form, modifikohen illustrates Albanian’s present passive for plural subjects and does not specify the agent of modification.
