framläggs

Framläggs is a term used in Swedish to denote the act of presenting or submitting something to a person, body, or institution for consideration. It is the passive present form of the verb framlägga and is most common in formal or administrative language, such as government, parliament, legal proceedings, or corporate governance. The phrase emphasizes the action of bringing material forward for review rather than the content itself.

Etymology and scope. The word builds on fram- (forward) and lägga (to lay), conveying the idea of laying forward a document or proposal for examination. In Swedish, framläggs is typically used with a recipient or decision-making body, for example, framläggs i riksdagen or framläggs för styrelsen. It can apply to proposals, reports, bevis, or other pertinent material presented in a procedural context. The corresponding noun forms are framläggande or framläggning, referring to the act of presenting.

Usage notes. The subject performing the action is often a ministry, committee, or proposer. In ongoing or future-oriented contexts, framläggs is preferred over past forms, while past contexts may use framlades or framlade, depending on the tense. The construction is characteristic of formal Swedish and is less common in casual speech.

- Förslaget framläggs i riksdagen för behandling.
