anslår

Anslår is the present tense form of the Swedish verb anslå. The infinitive is anslå. The verb has several related meanings, most commonly used in administrative and economic contexts.

In budgeting and financial planning, anslå means to estimate or forecast a specific amount, often referring to funds that are to be allocated. It is commonly used when discussing budgets, cost projections, or financial appropriations, for example in statements about how much money will be set aside for a project or program. A related sense is to earmark or allocate funds within a budget.

A second, more formal and somewhat historical sense is to post or publish a public notice or announcement. In this use, anslå is connected to the noun anslag, which can refer to a public notice or a budgetary allocation, depending on context. In contemporary language, the posting sense is less frequent and often replaced by other verbs such as publicera or sätta upp.

Conjugation forms commonly encountered are infinitive anslå; present tense anslår; past tense anslog; supine anslagit. In usage, the first sense (estimating or allocating funds) is the dominant modern meaning in government and corporate discourse, while the notice-posting sense appears in more formal or historical texts.
