Förbigick

Förbigick is a Swedish verb. It is the supine form of the verb förbigå. Förbigå means to pass by, to overlook, or to bypass. In its supine form, förbigick is often used in compound tenses, such as the perfect tense, to indicate that something has been passed by or overlooked. For example, "han förbigick varningsskylten" translates to "he overlooked the warning sign."

The verb can also be used in a more abstract sense, referring to the passing of time or the missing of an opportunity. For instance, "tiden förgick snabbt" means "time passed quickly." Similarly, "han lät chansen förbigå" means "he let the chance pass him by." The word itself is composed of the prefix "för-" which can indicate something being done incorrectly or to excess, and "bigå" which relates to going by or passing. Understanding the etymology can help clarify its various uses. The verb is a common element in Swedish grammar, appearing in both formal and informal contexts.
