Framlagts

Framlagts is a Swedish term functioning as the past participle of the verb framlägga, meaning to present or submit something to a person or body for consideration. In practice, framlagts appears in perfect tenses and passive constructions, typically indicating that a document, proposal, or item has been placed before a committee, parliament, court, or board.

Etymology and form: framlagga is built from fram- (forward) and lägga (to lay), with the participle framlagts serving as a completed submission. The form is common in formal or bureaucratic language. Related forms include framläggande (the act of presenting) and framlagda/framlagt adaptations used as modifiers or in different syntactic positions.

Usage: Framlagts is used primarily in official, legal, and political contexts. It signals that something has been submitted for consideration rather than approved or rejected. In parliamentary reporting or legal filings, phrases like Förslaget har framlagts or Nämnden har framlagts ett nytt dokument illustrate its typical function. The term is often preferred in formal documents over more general verbs like presentera or lägga fram.

See also: framläggande, förslag, proposition, motion, offentlig utredning.

Examples:

- Förslaget har framlagts av regeringen.

- Ett nytt dokument har framlagts till kommittén för granskning.

Framlagts thus denotes the completion of the act of presenting, and is a standard building block in Swedish formal writing.
