Kombineras

Kombineras is a Swedish verb form that functions as the present passive of kombinera, meaning to combine. It is used when the subject of a sentence is the recipient of the action, i.e., two or more elements are being joined without specifying who performs the action. In Swedish, the passive form is often used in descriptive, technical, or impersonal statements to emphasize the result of combining rather than the agent. The active present tense is kombinerar, the past passive is kombinerades, and the perfect passive is har kombinerats.

Usage examples illustrate its role in different contexts. Swedish sentences commonly seen in technical writing include: "Två material kombineras för att bilda en ny legering" (The two materials are combined to form a new alloy). Another example: "Funktionerna kombineras för att uppnå önskat resultat" (The functions are combined to achieve the desired result). In product or process descriptions, one might encounter: "Produkten kombineras med en garanti" (The product is combined with a warranty), though more natural phrasing may vary with context.

Etymology and register: kombineras derives from the verb kombinera, borrowed from Latin combinare via French combiner. The term is widely understood across Swedish-speaking domains and is appropriate in formal, technical, and educational language. It can also appear in legal or regulatory texts when describing how elements are integrated or paired.
