bildar

Bildar is the present tense form of the Swedish verb bilda, meaning to form, create, or establish. It is used to describe the act of forming something, such as a group, a structure, an idea, an institution, or a plan.

Grammatical notes: Bildar is the third-person singular present tense of bilda. The verb belongs to the regular -a conjugation, with forms such as bildar (present), bildade (past), and har bildat (present perfect). It is typically used with a direct object: for example, "Företaget bildar en ny avdelning" or "Eleverna bildar en cirkel för diskussion."

Usage contexts: Bildar can express literal formation, such as constructing a physical entity, or more abstract formation, such as developing a policy or a theory. It is common in everyday Swedish, as well as in business, education, and media, where the emphasis is on the process of creating or organizing something.

Etymology and cognates: Bilda is of Germanic origin and has cognates in other Scandinavian languages, where verbs with related meanings exist (for example Danish and Norwegian forms meaning to form or create). The noun bild means image or picture, a related but distinct word.

Notes: The term bildar should not be confused with the noun bild, which refers to an image; they are etymologically related but function differently in sentences.
