Ngrihet

Ngrihet is an Albanian verb form that serves as the present tense, third-person singular form of the reflexive/middle voice of the verb ngrihem, meaning to rise or to get up. In use, ngrihet can indicate that someone rises from bed, stands up, or, in a passive sense, that something is raised. The form is gender-neutral and appears in both everyday speech and formal writing.

In ordinary, intransitive use, ngrihet expresses waking up or getting up. For example: Ai ngrihet herët çdo mëngjes. (He gets up early every morning.) It can also describe standing up or initiating movement from a seated or lying position. In a passive sense, ngrihet can describe something being raised or hoisted, such as a flag or banner: Flamuri ngrihet mbi sheshin. (The flag is raised over the square.)

Grammatical note: ngrihet is the third-person singular present form. The full present-tense paradigm of the reflexive verb ngrihem is unë ngrihem (I rise), ti ngrihesh (you rise), ai/ajo ngrihet (he/she rises), ne ngrihemi (we rise), ju ngriheni (you all rise), ata/ato ngrihen (they rise). The meaning of ngrihet depends on context, with the reflexive sense most common in daily speech.
