udhëzon

Udhëzon is a verb in the Albanian language meaning to guide or direct someone or something along a path or through a process. It can refer to leading a person physically along a route, such as a tour guide showing the way, or to providing guidance in more abstract contexts, such as instruction, mentorship, or moral and practical direction. The form udhëzon corresponds to the third-person singular present indicative, and the verb overall is transitive, taking a direct object that is guided or led.

Etymology and usage notes: the verb is derived from the noun udhë, meaning road or way, with a suffix that conveys action or causation, yielding a sense of causing someone to take a particular path. In everyday Albanian, udhëzon is used for both concrete directions and figurative guidance, for example teachers or leaders who direct students, guides who direct travelers, or mentors who steer someone toward a course of action.

Common contexts and examples: it is used in education, travel, and leadership to describe guiding others. Examples include a teacher udhëzon students through a complex assignment, a guide udhëzon tourists through a city, or a mentor udhëzon someone toward a career goal. It can also apply to giving step-by-step instructions or safety briefings in professional settings.
