mësohet

Mësohet is an Albanian verb form that expresses the idea that something is learned or taught. It is the present passive (or impersonal) form of the verb mësuar, used to indicate that knowledge, a skill, or information becomes learned without specifying who learns it. In neutral statements, mësohet can describe educational processes or what is typically acquired through study and practice.

Usage and meaning

Mësohet is commonly used to describe what is learned in educational settings, or what can be learned in general. It often appears in sentences that emphasize the acquisition of knowledge rather than the act performed by a specific subject. For example: Matematika mësohet në shkollë (Mathematics is learned in school). Gjuha shqipe mësohet nga nxënësit që nga klasa e parë (Albanian is learned by students since first grade). The form can also appear in impersonal constructions such as Cela to be learned through practice or experience: këto koncepte mësohen përmes ushtrimeve (these concepts are learned through exercises).

Grammatical notes

Mësohet comes from mësuar and is used to convey passive or broadly general learning. It is distinct from the active form of “to learn” that would specify the doer (e.g., nxënësi mëson). The character ë in mësohet is a key feature of Albanian spelling and affects pronunciation.

Related forms

Variants include mësohen (they are learned / it is learned in plural or impersonal forms) and mësohet si pjesë e tërthortit në shqipe, used similarly to reflect learning processes across different subjects and contexts.
