Shtyhet

Shtyhet is an Albanian verb form meaning “is postponed” or “is delayed.” It is the present passive form of the verb shtyj, which means to push, move forward, or postpone. The form shtyhet is used to indicate that a date, event, or plan has been moved to a later time, without specifying who caused the change.

In usage, shtyhet describes postponement of schedules, deadlines, or events. Common constructions include data shtyhet (the date is postponed) and takimi shtyhet me nje jave (the meeting is postponed by one week). It is widely found in formal and media language, but can also appear in everyday speech when reporting delays or changes to plans.

Related words include shtyrje, the noun meaning postponement or delay, and other forms derived from shtyj. Shtyhet can be complemented by phrases indicating the reason for delay, such as për shkak të motit (because of weather), to provide context for the postponement.

The term is part of ordinary Albanian usage in administrative, business, and news contexts, where communicating changes to schedules and deadlines is common. See also shtyrje for the related noun form.
