hänvisas

Hänvisas is a Swedish word that translates to "referred," "directed," or "transferred" in English. It is a passive form of the verb "hänvisa," which means to refer, direct, or transfer. The word can be used in various contexts, both formal and informal.

In a formal setting, "hänvisas" often appears in official documents, instructions, or regulations. For example, a document might state that a particular matter is "hänvisas till en annan avdelning," meaning it is "referred to another department." Similarly, a sign might read "parkering hänvisas till parkeringshuset," indicating that "parking is directed to the parking garage." This usage implies a formal transfer of responsibility or a specific instruction.

In everyday language, "hänvisas" can be used more casually. If someone asks for information that you cannot provide, you might say, "Jag hänvisas dig till biblioteket," which means "I am referring you to the library." This suggests a recommendation or guidance towards a source of information. The word can also describe a person being sent or directed somewhere, such as "patienten hänvisas till specialistvården," meaning "the patient is transferred to specialist care." The context will always clarify the exact meaning, whether it's about information, responsibility, or physical location.
