delegeras

Delegeras is a verb form used in Swedish to express the present passive of the verb delegera, meaning to delegate or transfer responsibility or authority for a task to another person or body. The form denotes that the delegation is taking place or is being described from a passive perspective, with the doer of the delegation often indicated by a phrase introduced with av (by).

Etymology and related forms: Delegera derives from the Latin delēgāre (to appoint as a delegate) via French déléguer and then into Swedish. Related nouns include delegering (the act of delegating) and delegation (often used in more general or formal contexts, sometimes borrowed from English).

Usage: Delegeras appears in formal and organizational language to state that a task or authority is being assigned. It is commonly found in management, legal, and administrative writing. The agent of delegation can be specified with av, for example, uppgiften delegeras av chefen till projektledaren (the task is delegated by the boss to the project manager). Verb forms for related tenses exist: delegerades (past), delegerats (present perfect). In other Scandinavian languages, a similar present passive form exists, such as delegeres in Danish/Norwegian.

Examples:

- Uppgiften delegeras till projektledaren.

- Beslutet delegerades till nämnden.

- Ansvar delegerats till teamet.
