Paraqitet

Paraqitet is an Albanian verb form, the present passive form of the verb paraqit, meaning to present, introduce, or appear. In English, it can be translated as is presented, appears, or is introduced, depending on the context. The form paraqitet is typically used for third-person singular subjects in the present tense, while the corresponding plural form is paraqiten. The infinitive is paraqit, and the past participle is paraqitur. The word arises from the prefix para- meaning before and the root paraqit, reflecting Albanian voice and mood systems.

Usage and meaning

Paraqitet is used to indicate that something or someone is being presented to an audience, authority, or body, or that someone or something appears before a group. It appears in formal and informal registers, including news reports, official documents, and event descriptions. In bureaucratic or journalistic prose, the term often signals a formal or impersonal tone.

Examples

Ai paraqitet para komisionit. (He appears before the commission.)

Në raportin e fundit paraqitet një skicë e re. (In the latest report, a new outline is presented.)
