shumëzohet

"Shumëzohet" is the third-person singular present passive form of the Albanian verb "shumëzoj," which means to multiply or to increase. In mathematical contexts, "shumëzohet" specifically refers to the process of multiplication. When an operation is described as "shumëzohet," it indicates that a number or quantity is being multiplied by another. For instance, "numri pesë shumëzohet me dy" translates to "the number five is multiplied by two," resulting in the product of ten.

The concept of "shumëzohet" is fundamental in arithmetic and algebra. It represents an operation where one quantity is added to itself a specified number of times. This is often denoted by symbols such as '×' or '*'. The passive voice "shumëzohet" emphasizes the action being performed on the subject, rather than the agent performing the action. For example, in the sentence "Çdo element i rreshtit shumëzohet me tre," meaning "Each element of the row is multiplied by three," the focus is on the transformation of the row's elements.

Beyond mathematics, "shumëzohet" can also be used figuratively to describe a rapid increase or proliferation of something. This usage implies a multiplicative growth, where a quantity doubles, triples, or grows at an even faster rate. For instance, one might say "infeksioni shumëzohet shpejt," meaning "the infection multiplies quickly," to convey a sense of rapid spread. The context in which "shumëzohet" appears is crucial for determining its precise meaning, whether it's a literal mathematical multiplication or a metaphorical description of increase.
