udhëheqin

Udhëheqin is an Albanian verb form meaning “they lead” or “they are leading.” It is the third person plural present tense of the verb udhëhiq, which means to lead, guide, or direct. The form is commonly used to describe groups, organizations, or individuals that are directing activities, making decisions, or steering a process at the moment of speaking.

Etymology and sense: The verb udhëhiq derives from the combination of udhë (road, path) and heq (to pull or take). Figuratively, it conveys guiding along a path or directing a course, hence the meaning to lead. The present tense form udhëheqin is used for contemporary leadership actions by multiple subjects.

Related terms in Albanian include udhëheqje (leadership or the act of leading), udhëheqës (leader, masculine), and udhëheqëse (leader, feminine). These nouns describe the role or the quality of leadership separate from the action described by the verb.

Usage: Udhëheqin appears in political, organizational, educational, and civic contexts to indicate that a group or person is providing direction. For example, “ata udhëheqin kompaninë” translates to “they lead the company,” while “qeveria udhëheqin me politikën e re” would convey governance under a new policy (depending on syntax and regional usage). The form is neutral and widely used in formal and media language.
