ingår

Ingår is a Swedish verb meaning to be included or to belong as part of something. It is commonly used to indicate that an element is part of a larger unit, such as a product, service, contract, or plan. Typical constructions include ingå i and phrases like det ingår i priset (it is included in the price) or det ingår i avtalet (this is included in the agreement).

Grammatical notes: The infinitive is ingå, the present tense is ingår, the past tense is ingick, and the supine or perfect participle is ingått. The verb is usually used with a prepositional phrase introduced by i to mark what is included, for example frakt ingår i priset (shipping is included in the price). In perfect tenses it can appear as har ingått (has been included). It is largely intransitive, with the complement expressed through prepositional phrases rather than a direct object.

Usage: In everyday Swedish, ingår appears frequently in consumer and service contexts to clarify what is covered by a price or package, e.g., “Vid köpet ingår två års garanti.” In legal and contractual language, it helps specify inclusions or obligations, such as what a bid or agreement encompasses, and what may instead be tillkommande (additional).

Etymology: ingår derives from the prefix in- combined with gå (to go), conveying the sense of something going into or becoming part of a larger set. Related forms include ingått and ingick, which appear in different tenses, and ingå i uttryck som beskriver inclusion or belonging.
