misstänkas

Misstänkas is a Swedish verb meaning "to be suspected." It is the passive form of the verb misstänka, which means "to suspect." The verb is often used in legal contexts when referring to a person who is believed to have committed a crime but has not yet been convicted. For example, "Han misstänks för mord" translates to "He is suspected of murder." The term can also be used in less formal situations to indicate that someone is thought to be responsible for something, even if it is not a serious offense. For instance, "Vem misstänks för att ha ätit upp sista kakan?" means "Who is suspected of having eaten the last cookie?" The grammatical form "misstänkas" indicates that the subject of the sentence is the one being suspected, rather than the one doing the suspecting. This passive construction is common in Swedish and emphasizes the state of being under suspicion. It is a fundamental verb for discussing criminal investigations and allegations in Swedish.
