diskuteras

Diskuteras is the present passive form of the Swedish verb diskutera, meaning to discuss. It is used to indicate that the subject of the sentence is the thing being discussed, rather than performing the action.

In Swedish, the passive voice in the present tense is typically formed by adding the suffix -s to the present tense form of the verb. For diskutera, the present active form is diskuterar, so the present passive is diskuteras. The agent or doer of the action can be included with av followed by a noun phrase, for example av panelen.

The form is common in formal writing, news reporting, and neutral descriptive language because it foregrounds the discussion itself rather than who is doing the discussing. Examples: Frågan diskuteras av panelen. (The issue is being discussed by the panel.) Mötet diskuteras just nu. (The meeting is currently being discussed.) The past passive form is diskuterades, as in Frågan diskuterades av rådet. (The issue was discussed by the council.)

Related linguistic forms include the active present diskutera (to discuss), the past diskuterade (discussed), and the noun diskussion (discussion). The present passive diskuteras contrasts with the active voice by shifting emphasis from the agent to the topic of discussion.
