införs

Införs is a Swedish verb form used to express that something is being introduced or brought into a system, policy, rule, or process. It is the present passive form of the active verb inför (införa), meaning to introduce, bring in, or implement. In use, införs conveys that the subject undergoes the action of introduction rather than performing it.

In contemporary Swedish, införs appears mainly in formal or administrative contexts, such as government, legislation, and organizational policy. It can describe the introduction of laws, regulations, procedures, or practices. Examples include: Lagen införs den 1 juli; Nya regler införs för att öka säkerheten. The form is used with various subjects and does not mark the subject's number in its ending, functioning as a standard present passive construction.

Related forms include införde, the preterite active form meaning “introduced,” and införts, the past participle used in perfect tenses (har införts) or in passive constructions (lagen infördes). The active present tense is inför, as in vi inför nya regler. The noun form for the act or process of introduction is införande, and related terminology covers implementation and adoption.

Etymology traces inför to in- (into) and föra (to bring or carry), yielding the sense of bringing something inside or bringing it into effect. Införs thus occupies a formal niche in Swedish, signaling the transition of something from concept or proposal to established practice.
