përfaqësohet

Përfaqësohet is an Albanian verb form meaning "is represented" or "is portrayed." It is the present passive, third-person singular form of the verb përfaqësoj, which means to represent, portray, or stand for. In this passive construction, the subject is the entity being represented, while the agent performing the representation is usually introduced with the preposition nga.

It is used in legal, political, media, and academic contexts to indicate representation or depiction. Examples: Kryetari përfaqësohet nga avokati i tij në gjyq. Në grafikun e të dhënave, kurba përfaqësohet nga funksioni f(x) = x^2.

Related forms include the infinitive përfaqësoj, the noun përfaqësim (representation), and the agent noun përfaqësues (representative). The term is commonly employed to express that a person or thing stands for or presents another in a given setting, such as law, governance, or data visualization.

Notes on usage: In Albanian, the passive voice is formed synthetically for many verbs in the present tense, with -et marking the third-person singular. The agent of representation is typically introduced with nga, while the verb agrees with the grammatical subject rather than the actor. This construction helps distinguish who is being represented from who is doing the representing.
