Opsummeres

Opsummeres is a Danish verb form that expresses the present passive voice of opsummere, meaning to summarize. It translates roughly as "is summarized" or "are summarized" in English and is used when the subject of the sentence is the thing being summarized rather than the agent performing the summarizing.

Usage of opsummeres is common in formal and written Danish, including academic writing, reports, abstracts, and executive summaries. It is used to indicate that content has been condensed from longer material. For example, disse afsnit opsummeres means "these sections are summarized." In concise prose, the present passive form can replace more explicit passive constructions such as with the auxiliary bliver or er, providing a compact way to present summarized information.

Grammar notes: opsummeres is the present tense passive form of the verb opsummere. In Danish, the present passive suffix -es is attached to the verb stem and is used with both singular and plural subjects. The actor performing the summarizing is left implicit, while the subject undergoes the action of being summarized.

Examples:

- Resultatet opsummeres i afsnittet. (The result is summarized in the section.)

- Disse punkter opsummeres her. (These points are summarized here.)

- Hovedfundene opsummeres i konklusionen. (The main findings are summarized in the conclusion.)
