Specifikohet

Specifikohet is an Albanian verb form meaning “is specified” or “is being specified.” It represents the present passive form of the verb specifikoj (to specify). The construction is used to indicate that a value, rule, or condition has been defined or stated by an authority, standard, or document.

Etymology and form: The verb comes from the root specifik-, connected with the idea of being specific. The passive present is formed with the suffix -ohet, producing specifies such as specifikohet for the third-person singular. In technical and legal writing, specifiers often use this form to attribute definitions to a source, rather than to a subject performing the action.

Usage: Specifikohet appears mainly in formal or administrative contexts, including contracts, standards, forms, and regulatory texts. It is a transitive verb in the active voice (specifikoj) and is commonly encountered in its passive form to state that certain elements have been defined by the document or rule in force. The phrase often accompanies nouns like vlera (value), kushti (condition), apo parameter.

Examples:

- Vlera e temperaturës specifikohet në dokument. (The temperature value is specified in the document.)

- Kushti i regjistrimit specifikohet nga manuali. (The registration condition is specified by the manual.)
