gjorts

Gjorts is a Swedish grammatical form, specifically the past participle of the verb göra, meaning “to do” or “to make.” In modern Swedish, gjorts is used as part of verb phrases to express that something has been done or made, typically in passive voice. It is not an independent lexical item; rather, it functions within tense constructions with auxiliary verbs.

The primary use of gjorts is in perfect and pluperfect passive constructions. For example, in present perfect passive you would say "Åtgärderna har gjorts" (The measures have been taken). In pluperfect passive, you could encounter "Föremålen hade gjorts" (The items had been made). The corresponding active forms are different: the active past participle is gjort (e.g., "hon har gjort" - she has done/made). The passive infinitive is göras (e.g., "att göras" – to be done).

Gjorts also appears in many formal or administrative contexts, such as reports, official statements, and news, where the emphasis is on the completion of actions rather than the actors themselves. It can convey completed work, decisions, or changes that have occurred.

In summary, gjorts is a grammatical, not lexical, item used to mark that something has been performed in a passive construction. It is the standard form for “has/have been done/made” in Swedish and contrasts with the active form gjort and the passive infinitive göras.
