Serveras

Serveras is a Swedish verb form meaning "is served" or "are served." It is the present passive form of the verb servera, which means to serve. In Swedish, many verbs form the passive by adding the suffix -s to the infinitive, producing forms such as serveras, görs, and hörs. As a result, serveras is commonly encountered in menus, recipes, and instructional text to indicate how a dish or item should be presented to the diner.

In usage, serveras generally follows a subject referring to food or a course. Examples include "Desserten serveras kall" (the dessert is served cold) and "Rätterna serveras med potatis" (the dishes are served with potatoes). On signage or menu notes, one might see "Serveras med bröd" to indicate an accompaniment.

Grammatical notes: The present passive form serveras is invariant with respect to number and person; the subject determines whether the sentence describes a single item or multiple items, while the verb remains "serveras." The infinitive form is servera, and related forms include the past passive "serverades" (was/were served) and the adjective "serverad" (serving in a passive sense).
