Fornyes

Fornyes is a Norwegian verb form meaning “is renewed” or “is being renewed.” It is the present passive form of the verb fornye, used when describing renewal that is happening in the present or as a general statement.

In Norwegian, fornyes appears with inanimate subjects and is commonly used in contexts involving contracts, subscriptions, licenses, and other processes that can renew automatically or upon agreement. The form functions as the present tense passive and translates most often to “is renewed” in English.

Examples of usage include: “Abonnementet fornyes automatisk hvert år.” and “Kontrakten fornyes dersom partene blir enige om vilkårene.” These illustrate typical contexts where renewal is an ongoing or conditional process.

Grammatical notes: fornyes is the present passive form of fornye, with the active form being fornye (to renew). The corresponding past participle is fornyet. The form fornyes is part of a broader pattern in Norwegian where the present passive is expressed without auxiliary verbs in many everyday statements.

Etymology and related terms: fornyes is derived from fornye, formed from the root ny meaning “new” with the prefix for-, indicating renewal or making something new again. Related terms include fornyelse (renewal) and fornybar (renewable), which appear in legal, administrative, and energy contexts.
