Avgöras

Avgöras is a Swedish verb form: the passive infinitive of avgöra, meaning to decide, determine, or settle. It is used to indicate that a decision or outcome will be made by someone or by a circumstance rather than by the subject itself. The finite passive present form is avgörs (it is decided), while the non-finite form avgöras appears in clauses with auxiliary verbs or modal constructions, such as frasen fragan får avgöras av domstolen (the matter must be decided by the court) or det är på väg att avgöras (it is about to be decided).

In usage, avgöra and its passive avgöras appear frequently in formal, administrative, legal, and journalistic contexts. They convey that the resolution of a question, rule, or outcome depends on an authority, process, or time. The term is common when describing pending decisions, assessments, or the eventual conclusion of proceedings.

Related forms include avgöra (the infinitive), avgör (present tense), avgjord (past participle in active form), and avgjort (the past participle used in perfect constructions). The past tense passive counterpart is often formed with har avgjorts in perfect tense, as in frågan har avgjorts (the issue has been decided). Etymologically, avgöras derives from avgöra, a core Swedish verb with a long-standing role in legal and administrative language.
