framlagt

Framlagt is a participial form used in Norwegian and Swedish to indicate that something has been presented or submitted for consideration. It derives from the verb framlegge in Norwegian or framlägga in Swedish, meaning to present, submit, or lay forward for discussion. The form functions as an adjective or predicative participle and is typically used to describe a proposal, document, report, or other item that has been formally introduced to a decision-making body.

In Norwegian, framlagt is used to indicate that an item has been formally submitted to a body such as a parliament, council, or committee. Examples include: "Forslaget ble framlagt i Stortinget" and "Dokumentet ble framlagt for komiteen." The term signals that the item is no longer merely proposed informally but is under formal consideration.

In Swedish, the corresponding past participle is framlagt. It is used similarly to indicate that a proposal, document, or report has been formally presented to a body such as the Riksdag or a committee. Example: "Förslaget var framlagt i riksdagen" and "Dokumentet var framlagt."

The noun forms related to the act of presenting include framleggelse in Norwegian and framläggning in Swedish, used to denote the presentation process.
