innehållas

Innehållas is a Swedish verb. It is the passive form of the verb innehålla, which means to contain or to include. The verb itself is derived from the Old Norse word "innihalda," meaning to hold within.

The passive voice in Swedish, often formed by adding -s to the verb stem, indicates that the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action. Therefore, "innehållas" suggests that something is being contained or included by something else. For example, "Boken innehåller många bilder" (The book contains many pictures) would become "Många bilder innehållas av boken" (Many pictures are contained by the book) in the passive voice, though this construction is less common and often sounds more formal or archaic.

More frequently, "innehållas" is used in contexts where the agent performing the action of containing is not specified or is unimportant. In such cases, it conveys a sense of inherent content or what is present. For instance, a sentence like "Priset innehållas inte alla avgifter" (The price does not include all fees) uses the negated passive form to state what is excluded.

The verb "innehållas" is primarily found in written Swedish and is less common in everyday spoken language. When translating from English, the passive construction "is contained" or "is included" often corresponds to the Swedish "innehållas."
