Shoqërohet

Shoqërohet is an Albanian verb form that represents the present passive (or mediopassive) of the verb shoqëro, meaning to accompany or escort. It translates to “is accompanied” or “gets accompanied,” indicating that the subject receives the action of accompaniment performed by someone else. The form is used for third-person singular subjects, regardless of gender.

In usage, shoqërohet is typically followed by an agent introduced with the preposition nga, or by a phrase identifying who accompanies the subject. For example, Ajo shoqërohet nga një mik në ngjarje translates as “She is accompanied by a friend to the event.” The same construction can appear with different subjects and contexts, such as në muze, në vizitë, or në udhëtim, depending on what or where the accompaniment occurs. The verb can be negated (Ai nuk shoqërohet) and can appear in different tenses with corresponding forms of the passive or periphrastic constructions.

Related noun forms include shoqërim (the act of accompanying or company) and shoqërues (a companion or escort). The active corresponding form is shoqëron (he/she accompanies).

Notes on grammar and style: shoqërohet is part of standard Albanian and is commonly used in formal and informal contexts alike. In narrative or descriptive writing, it helps describe situations where a person, group, or object is being escorted or accompanied by another person or entity. Other tense forms exist through the broader verb system, enabling expressions such as “is being accompanied,” “was accompanied,” or “will be accompanied” using appropriate auxiliary constructions.
