förvaltades

förvaltades is the passive past tense form of the Swedish verb "förvalta". The verb "förvalta" generally means to manage, administer, govern, or steward. Therefore, "förvaltades" translates to "was managed", "was administered", "was governed", or "was stewarded". It indicates that something was under the control or care of someone or some entity in the past.

The specific meaning of "förvaltades" depends heavily on the context in which it is used. For example, "Fastigheten förvaltades av ett bolag" means "The property was managed by a company". In this instance, "förvaltades" refers to the administrative and operational handling of the property. Another example could be "Skogen förvaltades med varsamhet" which translates to "The forest was stewarded with care". Here, it implies a responsible and careful handling of the natural resource. The subject of the sentence would be what was managed, and the agent (if specified) would be who or what performed the management. The passive construction emphasizes the action of management being done to the subject, rather than the subject actively performing the action.
