Stängdes

Stängdes is a Swedish word that translates to "closed" or "was closed" in English. It is the past tense passive form of the verb "stänga," which means "to close." This word can be used in a variety of contexts to describe the act of something being shut or shut down.

For example, one might say "Butiken stängdes igår" which means "The shop was closed yesterday." This indicates a completed action in the past. It can refer to physical objects like doors or windows being shut, or more abstract concepts such as a business or an event being terminated. The passive voice implies that the subject of the sentence did not perform the action of closing, but rather had the action performed upon it.

The word "stängdes" is commonly encountered in everyday Swedish conversation, news reports, and written materials. Its meaning is straightforward and directly relates to the cessation of an open state. The specific reason for something being closed is not inherent in the word itself and would typically be provided in the surrounding context. Understanding this word is fundamental for comprehending past events and states of being in Swedish.
