shkrihen

Shkrihen is an Albanian verb form meaning “they melt” or “they dissolve.” It is the present tense, third-person plural form of the verb shkri, which denotes the process of melting or dissolving a substance, typically under the influence of heat or chemical action. The form shkrihen is used when the subject is plural and the action is described as something that the subject undergoes.

In usage, shkrihen appears in scientific, culinary, and everyday descriptions of melting processes. It can describe metals, ice, salts, and other materials that change from a solid to a liquid state when exposed to sufficient heat or appropriate conditions. The form is also part of the broader system of Albanian verb conjugation, where the base shkri combines with the present-tense plural suffix to produce shkrihen.

Examples:

- Metalet shkrihen kur ngrohen në temperaturë të lartë. (The metals melt when heated to a high temperature.)

- Në përzierje të nxehta, këto përbërës shkrihen lehtë. (In hot mixtures, these components melt/fuse together easily.)

Notes:

- Shkrihen is the third-person plural present form; singular forms include shkrihet (he/she/it melts) and shkrihem (I melt, in a reflexive or passive sense depending on context).

- The verb covers both physical melting and, in some contexts, dissolving or fading away.
