Utvinns

Utvinns is the present passive form of the Swedish verb utvinna, meaning to extract, obtain, or derive resources from a natural source. The form is used to describe processes in which materials such as minerals, oil, gas, or energy are retrieved or produced from their sources. It is commonly found in technical reports, industry descriptions, and scientific writing.

Examples of usage include: "Råmaterialet utvinns ur malmen" and "Energi utvinns ur solen och vinden." The passive voice allows for neutral, process-focused statements about extraction. In everyday speech, the active form utvinner is more common: "Företaget utvinner koppar."

Etymology and notes: utvinna is formed with the prefix ut- plus vinna, originally meaning to obtain or derive something. The noun utvinning denotes the act or process of extraction. The verb forms share a common semantic field with other Germanic languages that express extraction and production through similar prefixes and roots, and the passive form utvinns is a standard construction in Swedish for describing results or ongoing processes without specifying the agent.
