dërgohen

Dërgohen is a present tense form of the Albanian verb dërgoj, meaning “to send.” It represents the third-person plural present passive, used when the subject of the sentence is the item being sent and the actor performing the sending is either unspecified or expressed with a prepositional phrase (for example, “by the postal service”). In English, it corresponds to “they are sent” or “are sent,” depending on the context.

Grammatical notes: The Albanian passive voice can be formed with the verb stem plus the suffix -hen in the present plural. The corresponding active form for the same subject is dërgojnë (they send). The singular present passive form is dërgohet (it is sent). Dërgohen thus fits within a system where passive constructions indicate action performed on the subject rather than by the subject.

Usage: Dërgohen appears in contexts involving dispatch or transmission of items such as letters, packages, or messages. It is common in formal and administrative language as well as everyday communication. The agent performing the sending is often introduced with a prepositional phrase, e.g., dërgohen nga posta or dërgohen nga institucionet.

Examples:

- Letërat dërgohen sot. (The letters are sent today.)

- Paketa dërgohen sot nga postierët. (The packages are sent today by the postal workers.)

- Mesazhet dërgohen çdo ditë nga sistemi. (The messages are sent every day by the system.)
