forcojë

Forcojë is an Albanian finite verb form derived from the verb forcoj, meaning to force, compel, or strengthen. It is used in the present subjunctive mood (third person singular) and appears in clauses introduced by që to express a desired or hypothetical action. In formal or legal Albanian, the form can indicate an obligation or recommendation within a subordinate clause, for example: që ai të forcojë ligjet.

A typical usage is after të in a që-clause, where forcojë signals a hypothetical or desired action: “Është e rëndësishme që ai të forcojë ligjet e sigurisë” (It is important that he strengthen the security laws). The form helps convey will, possibility, or requirement within indirect statements or policy discussions.

Etymology and related forms: The form is built on the root forc- connected to the noun forcë, meaning force or strength. Related verbal forms include forcoj (I strengthen, I force), forcojmë (we strengthen), and the noun forcë (force/strength). Other related derivatives include forcimi (the act of strengthening) and forcues (a strengthener or agent).

Notes on usage: Forcojë appears primarily in formal or literary contexts and in documents that express recommendations, requirements, or hypothetical outcomes. It is distinct from the indicative form forcoj, which states a real or asserted action (I force/strengthen). In everyday speech, Albanian speakers often substitute more direct constructions or use other moods depending on formality and precision.
