besluttes

Besluttes is a Swedish verb form meaning "is decided" or "is to be decided." It is the present passive form of besluta, the verb meaning "to decide." In Swedish, the prefix be- and the -s ending for passive voice create a construction that does not specify the actor. This makes beslutas/besluttes common in formal or official prose where the action is attributed to an authority without naming it.

Usage and function: Beslutas is typically used in legal, administrative, and organizational texts to indicate that a decision will be or has been made by a governing body, committee, board, or government. Example: En ny policy beslutas av styrelsen. The related active form is beslutar ("decides"), and the past active form is beslöt ("decided"). The noun form for the outcome is beslut ("decision"), while beslutsfattande refers to decision-making and beslutsprocess to the decision-making process.

Translations: In English, beslutas is most often rendered as "is decided" or "is to be decided," depending on tense and context. It is part of a broader set of Swedish passive constructions that use -s to indicate passive voice.

Related terms: besluta (to decide), beslut (decision), beslutsfattande (decision-making), beslutsprocess (decision process). In practice, beslutas appears most frequently in formal written Swedish, while everyday speech more often uses active constructions or explicit agents.
