exemplifieras

Exemplifieras is the present passive form of the Swedish verb exemplifiera, meaning to illustrate or demonstrate by example. As a passive form, it describes a situation in which something is being exemplified, without specifying the agent performing the action.

In Swedish grammar, the present passive is formed with the suffix -s; therefore exemplifieras corresponds to English "is exemplified" or "are exemplified." The subject that is exemplified appears before the passive verb, and the agent, if stated, is introduced with av.

Etymology: exemplifiera derives from exemplum (Latin for "example") via the Swedish word exempel, with the suffix -ifiera forming a verb meaning "to make into an example" or "to illustrate." The present passive exemplifieras then indicates that an example or set of examples is being shown or demonstrated.

Usage: The form is common in academic, analytical, and descriptive prose where authors discuss how a theory, principle, or phenomenon is demonstrated by evidence or case material. Example in Swedish: Bevisen exemplifieras genom tre fallstudier. English rendering: The evidence is exemplified by three case studies.

Related terms include exemplify (to illustrate by example) and exemplification (the act or process of providing examples). Exemplifiera and its passive form exemplifieras are part of a broader family of verbs built from example-related roots to express the act of demonstrating through illustration.
