Shkruhet

Shkruhet is the present passive form of the Albanian verb shkruaj, which means to write. It literally translates as “it is written” or “it is being written,” and is used to describe text, inscriptions, or statements without specifying the author. The form is third-person singular in the present tense passive and can be used in both formal and informal contexts.

In Albanian, the passive voice is used to present information from a text or inscription as a fact, or to indicate that a text exists without naming the writer. The agent may be omitted or, when specified, introduced with the preposition nga (by). For example, a sign might read: Në pllakat antike shkruhet data e ngjarjes (“On the ancient plaques, the date of the event is written”). Another example: Në dokument shkruhet se takimi fillon në orën tetë (“In the document it is written that the meeting starts at eight”).

Shkruhet also appears in quotes or reported text to convey content found in sources, such as encyclopedias, articles, or signs. It is commonly understood as a neutral way to reference written information without attributing it to a particular author.

Related forms include shkruar, the past participle meaning “written,” and shkruaj, the infinitive and present indicative form. These give rise to other tenses and voices, but shkruhet remains the standard present passive construction for “it is written.”
