Përdoret

Përdoret is a form of the Albanian verb përdor, meaning "to use." It functions as the present passive (is used / is being used) and is used to indicate that something is employed, applied, or utilized by someone or something. In ordinary and formal language, përdoret appears in sentences describing how objects, methods, or terms are used.

Usage and functions:

- It expresses passive usage, often in technical, academic, or instructional contexts. For example: "Kjo metodë përdoret në shkencë të tërthortë" or more natural variants discussing how a method is used.

- It can introduce purposes or contexts with phrases like "përdoret për" (is used for) or "përdoret në" (is used in). These constructions describe function, application, or setting.

- It aligns with noun phrases denoting tools, procedures, concepts, or terms that are being employed rather than performing the action themselves.

Notes:

- Përdoret is distinct from përdor, the active verb form meaning "to use" by a subject performing the action.

- The tense and voice of Albanian can express past or other nuances with different constructions; përdoret specifically marks present passive usage in standard contexts.

See also:

- përdorim (use, usage)

- përdorues (user)

- përdorua (used, in some contexts may appear in passive forms)

Përdoret is a common, neutral choice in Albanian to describe how something is utilized, whether in everyday language, scholarly writing, or technical documentation.
