Besökas

Besökas is a Swedish verb that translates to "to be visited" in English. It is the passive form of the verb "besöka," which means "to visit." The suffix "-as" is commonly used in Swedish to form passive verbs. This means that the subject of the sentence is receiving the action of being visited, rather than performing it.

For example, the sentence "Huset besökas av många turister" translates to "The house is visited by many tourists." Here, "huset" (the house) is the subject, and it is the recipient of the action "besökas" (is visited). The phrase "av många turister" indicates the agent performing the action.

The verb "besökas" can be used in various contexts, referring to people, places, or events. It implies that someone or something is coming to see or experience the subject. Understanding the passive voice is crucial for correctly interpreting sentences using "besökas" in Swedish. It highlights the receiver of the visit, differentiating it from active sentences where the visitor is the subject.
