ngadalësohen

The word "ngadalësohen" is a verb in the Albanian language. It is the third-person plural passive form of the verb "ngadalësoj," which means "to slow down" or "to decelerate." Therefore, "ngadalësohen" translates to "they are slowed down" or "they are decelerated."

This verb is used in various contexts. It can refer to the physical slowing of objects or processes, such as a car's speed decreasing or a project's progress becoming slower. For example, "Automjetet ngadalësohen pranë kthesës" means "The vehicles are slowed down near the turn." It can also be used metaphorically to describe a reduction in the pace of activities, economic growth, or even biological processes. An example of this metaphorical use might be, "Zhvillimi ekonomik ka filluar të ngadalësohet" meaning "Economic development has started to slow down."

The passive voice construction emphasizes that the slowing down is happening to the subject, rather than the subject actively performing the action of slowing down. This is common when the agent causing the slowdown is either unknown, unimportant, or implied by the context. For instance, if a disease is spreading more slowly, one might say, "Infeksioni ngadalësohet," implying that external factors or the body's response are causing the deceleration. The precise meaning is always dependent on the surrounding sentence and the situation being described.
