përfaqësuar

Përfaqësuar is the past participle of the Albanian verb përfaqësoj, meaning to represent, portray, or stand for. The form denotes that something has been represented or depicted in a particular way. As a participle, përfaqësuar can function in two ways: in passive verbal constructions, where it appears with an auxiliary form of the verb të jetë or janë (for example, është përfaqësuar, janë përfaqësuar); or as an adjective describing a noun, agreeing in gender and number with it. In both uses, the core sense is the result of representation rather than the action itself.

Usage and scope: The term is common in political, legal, journalistic, and artistic contexts. In politics or public life, a group or party can be përfaqësuar by a representative; in journalism and scholarship, events and figures can be described as përfaqësuar to indicate how they have been portrayed. The noun forms include përfaqësim (representation) and përfaqësues (representative). In translation, përfaqësuar corresponds roughly to "represented" or "portrayed" in English. The word also appears in discussions of media coverage, cultural representation, and legal arguments where the depiction or standing for a group is analyzed.
