opprettes

Opprettes is a Norwegian verb form meaning "is established" or "is created." It is the present passive form of the verb opprette, which means to establish, create, found, or set up. Opprette is commonly used about organizations, institutions, plans, or systems being created or founded. In formal or legal language, statements such as "Et nytt selskap opprettes i dag" illustrate the use of opprettes to describe ongoing or formal creation.

Forms and conjugation: infinitive å opprette; present active oppretter; present passive opprettes; past active opprettet; past passive ble opprettet. The perfect passive can be expressed as har blitt opprettet or er opprettet, depending on tense. The passive voice foregrounds the process of creation rather than the actor, and opprettes is used when the action is being performed or described as a current process.

Usage notes: Opprette and opprettes are used for deliberate actions of establishing entities such as companies, organizations, policies, or agreements. The agent of creation is typically introduced with av, as in "et selskap opprettes av investorer" (a company is established by investors). In everyday speech, speakers may prefer less formal verbs or rephrase with etablere or starte.

Related terms include etablering (establishment), opprettelse (the act of establishing), and grunnleggelse (founding). Etymology traces to Old Norse and early Norwegian roots related to setting up or placing something in position, reflecting the sense of initiating a new entity.
