Uppenbarar

Uppenbarar is a Swedish verb form meaning to reveal, to make evident, or to disclose. It is the third-person singular present tense of the infinitive uppenbara.

Etymology and forms: The verb uppenbara is native Swedish. The related adjective uppenbar means obvious or evident. The present tense ends with -ar, giving uppenbarar; the simple past tense is uppenbarade, and the supine is uppenbarat, used with auxiliary verbs such as har or hade to form perfect or pluperfect tenses (e.g., har uppenbarat).

Usage: Uppenbarar is used in formal, analytical, or descriptive contexts to indicate that a statement, data, or observation reveals something. A typical construction is uppenbarar att followed by a clause. For example: "Studien uppenbarar ett samband mellan X och Y." In everyday language, other verbs like visa, avslöja, or demonstrera may be used, but uppenbarar emphasizes the act of making something clearly visible or evident.

Nuance and style: Uppenbarar can convey a precise, evidence-based reveal, often in academic, scientific, or investigative writing. It differs from avslöja, which can carry a stronger connotation of exposing something hidden or secret, and from visa, which is a more general “to show.”

Related terms: uppenbar (adjective: obvious), uppenbarhet (apparency or clarity), uppenbarelse (revelation or manifestation). The infinitive form of the verb is uppenbara, and its participles align with standard Swedish verb conjugation.
