Føres

føres is a verb form used in Danish and Norwegian Bokmål as the present passive form of the verb føre, meaning to lead, conduct, or carry. It indicates that the action is performed by an agent rather than the subject itself. In English translations it can correspond to “is led,” “is conducted,” or, in accounting or administrative contexts, “is entered/recorded,” depending on the sense of the base verb.

Usage is common in formal and administrative language. It describes processes, procedures, or records that are managed by someone else. Examples: Prosessen føres av et utvalg (“the process is led by a committee”); Varene føres gjennom tollprosedyren (“the goods are processed through the customs procedure”); Postene føres i regnskapet (“the entries are recorded in the accounts”).

Spelling and pronunciation: The form uses the vowel ø, which is standard in Danish and Norwegian; in environments that cannot render ø, it is sometimes transliterated as foeres or fores in informal contexts.

Etymology and related forms: Føres derives from the verb føre, with roots in Old Norse fœra/fara, meaning to lead or to carry. Related forms in the same verb family include føre (infinitive) and fører (present tense of “to lead”).
