Tërhiqem is an Albanian verb meaning "to withdraw," "to retreat," or "to pull back." It can be used in various contexts, both literal and figurative. Literally, it refers to the physical act of moving away from a place or person. For example, one might say "Unë tërhiqem nga fusha" which translates to "I withdraw from the field." This could describe a soldier leaving a battlefield or an athlete leaving a competition due to injury.

In social situations, it could mean to become more reserved or to distance oneself from a group. The specific nuance depends heavily on the surrounding context.
