kontrolluar

Kontrolluar is an Albanian verb form that denotes having been controlled or checked. It functions as the past participle of kontrolloj (to control) and can be used as an adjective to describe a state of control or as part of passive constructions in compound tenses, for example in phrases like produktet janë kontrolluar, meaning the products have been inspected or controlled.

Etymology and form: kontrolluar is a loanword in Albanian built from the noun kontroll (control) with the suffix -uar, a common way to form past participles or adjectives. The source of kontroll in Albanian is typically linked to European languages, including Turkish kontrol or Italian controllo, reflecting historical language contact. The form kontrolloj (to control) is the active verb, while kontrolluar appears in the passive or adjectival use.

Usage and contexts: The term is widely used in technical, regulatory, and administrative language, as well as in quality assurance and compliance contexts. Common examples include kontrolluar cilësinë (quality-controlled) or një proces kontrolluar (a controlled process). In data and safety contexts, it can describe items or actions that have undergone verification. Kontrolluar is often preferred over more general terms like inspektuar when the emphasis is on the act of ensuring control or conformity rather than on a simple inspection.

Grammar notes: In Albanian, kontrolluar is the past participle form of kontrolloj and can appear in various passive constructions, for instance with an auxiliary verb in compound tenses. The related noun is kontroll, meaning control or inspection. While synonyms exist (such as inspektuar for “inspected”), kontrolluar specifically conveys the sense of something being subjected to control or verification.
