Nedgrävs

Nedgrävs is a Swedish term that serves as the present passive form of the verb nedgräva, meaning to dig something down into the ground or to bury it. The prefix ned- signals downward movement, while gräva means to dig. In practice, nedgrävs is used when the subject is being buried or concealed by soil. The form is common in descriptions of burial, archaeological contexts, and certain construction or waste-handling processes where objects are buried or covered by earth. The present passive is formed with the -s suffix, as in "Fyndet nedgrävs i jorden." The corresponding active and other passive forms are nedgräver (present active), nedgrävde (past active or passive depending on construction), nedgrävt (supine), and nedgrävdes (past passive). The term is most common in Swedish-language technical or descriptive prose, and can appear in field reports, excavation notes, or crime descriptions where concealment by burial is discussed.

Examples:

- Fyndet nedgrävs under lager av jord och grus.

- Kroppen nedgrävs i en grav enligt ritual.

Nedgrävs is primarily a grammatical form used to describe burying actions, and its usage is tied to contexts involving digging, burial, or concealment of objects or bodies.
