zgjidhen

Zgjidhen is a verb form in Albanian, functioning as the present tense, passive voice, third person plural of the verb zgjidh, which means to solve or settle. The construction indicates that multiple items or issues are being resolved rather than acted upon by an explicit agent. The form translates roughly as “they are solved” or “they are settled.”

In morphology, zgjidhen is built from the stem zgjidh- with the present passive ending -en for the plural subject. The corresponding singular present passive form is zgjidhet (it is solved/settled). The verb zgjidh exists alongside similar-looking forms from other verbs (for example, zgjedh, which means to choose). These two verbs are distinct: zgjedh (to choose) and zgjidh (to solve/settle) have different conjugations and meanings, so they should not be confused.

Usage notes: zgjidhen is commonly used in discussions of problems, questions, disputes, or decisions that are being resolved or settled, often in formal, administrative, or legal contexts. It is typically used with plural subjects, but the singular form zgjidhet appears when referring to a single issue or matter.

Examples:

- Çështjet zgjidhen shpejt nga komisioni. (The issues are solved quickly by the commission.)

- Problemet zgjidhen me një marrëveshje të re. (The problems are solved with a new agreement.)

- Çështja zgjidhet menjëherë nga gjykata. (The case is decided/solved immediately by the court.)

Zgjidhen thus functions as a key passive construction for describing resolution or settlement across multiple items, and is distinct from the related but etymologically and semantically different verb zgjedh (to choose).
