Nënvizoi

Nënvizoi is an Albanian verb form that means to underline, either literally by drawing a line under text or figuratively to emphasize a point. It is the past tense form of the infinitive nënvizoj and is used to indicate that someone underlined something in the past.

In usage, nënvizoi appears in writing, editing, and education to describe actions that highlight specific words or sections. The phrase can be used for both textual emphasis and rhetorical emphasis, depending on the context. For example, Ai nënvizoi fjalën kyçe të raportit means “He underlined the key word of the report.”

Etymology and construction: nënvizoi is formed with the prefix nën- meaning under, attached to the root of the verb nënvizoj, which conveys the notion of marking text beneath a line or drawing attention to it. The sense of emphasis by underlining is common across languages and is preserved in Albanian usage.

The past tense third-person singular is nënvizoi (he/ she underlined). The past participle is nënvizuar (underlined). The act can also be described with related nouns such as nënvizim, which refers to the act or result of underlining.
