införts

Införts is a Swedish verbal form referring to the past participle of the verb införa when used in the passive voice. It signals that something has been introduced, brought into effect, or implemented. In Swedish, passive perfect constructions commonly pair the auxiliary ha with a past participle, as in något har införts (“something has been introduced”). The form införts can also appear in other passive contexts and in formal writing as part of a compound predicate.

In usage, införts appears predominantly in official, legal, regulatory, or policy-oriented texts. It is favored when describing the adoption or implementation of rules, standards, procedures, or systems. In everyday conversation, speakers more often use active constructions or other passive alternatives, such as infördes or other phrasing, depending on register and emphasis.

Morphology and function: införts is derived from införa and functions as a past participle in passive clauses or as an adjective modifying a noun in formal contexts. It carries the sense of something having been brought into force or put into operation, rather than merely planned or proposed.

Related terms include införande (the act or process of introducing), införa (to introduce), and införliva (to incorporate). The term is closely tied to discussions of policy rollout, legislative changes, and organizational adoption processes, where precise language about timing and scope matters.
