diskutohen

Diskutohen is a present tense passive form of the Albanian verb diskutoj, and is used to say that subjects are being discussed. It corresponds to the English “are discussed” or “are being discussed,” with the subject in the plural.

The verb diskutoj is of Romance origin, borrowed into Albanian from languages such as Italian (discutere) and Latin (discutere). In its passive present form, diskutohet (singular) and diskuto hen (plural) align with the subject number, so diskutohen means “they are discussed.”

In neutral and formal contexts, diskutohen often appears in written or official language, such as meeting minutes, policy discussions, or news reporting. It emphasizes the action of discussing without specifying the agent performing the discussion. The agent can be introduced with nga (by) if needed, as in “Pikat e rendit të ditës diskutohen nga anëtarët e komisionit.”

Examples:

- Pikat e rendit të ditës diskutohen në mbledhje. (The agenda items are discussed at the meeting.)

- Çështjet kryesore diskutohen nga anëtarët e komisionit. (The main issues are discussed by the committee members.)

Related forms include the active form diskutojnë (they discuss), and the singular passive diskutohet (it is discussed). The noun diskutim means “a discussion.” These forms share the same root and are used across similar contexts.
