Jämföras

Jämföras is a Swedish verb—the passive infinitive form of jämföra, meaning to be compared. It is used when describing something that is the object of comparison, rather than something performing the action. In formal writing, such as research reports, policy analyses, and technical descriptions, it describes a process where items are weighed against each other to assess similarities, differences, or value.

Grammatical notes: The active form is jämföra; the passive infinitive is att jämföras. In present tense the passive is jämförs, in simple past the passive is jämfördes, and in the perfect passive the participle is jämförts. The concept is closely related to the noun jämförelse (a comparison) and the adjective jämförbar (comparable). Common usage includes constructions such as "Resultaten kan jämföras med tidigare data" and "Företeelsen jämförs ofta med liknande fall," where the focus is on the act of comparing rather than on who performs it.
