overvindes

Overvindes is a Swedish verb that translates to "to be overcome" or "to be surmounted" in English. It is the passive form of the verb "övervinna," which means "to overcome." The verb describes a situation where a challenge, difficulty, or obstacle is successfully dealt with or conquered. It can refer to a personal struggle, a collective effort, or a general triumph over adversity.

The concept of overvindes implies a preceding state of struggle or difficulty. It signifies a transition from a state of being challenged to a state of having achieved victory or resolution. This can be applied to a wide range of contexts, from overcoming a personal fear or illness to overcoming a political or social injustice. The passive voice emphasizes that the overcoming has happened to the subject, rather than the subject actively overcoming something.

For example, one might say "svårigheten övervunnes," meaning "the difficulty was overcome." This implies that an external force or a collective effort brought about the resolution of the difficulty. The term suggests a sense of resilience and the eventual triumph of effort or circumstance over challenges. It is a common expression in Swedish when discussing the process of moving past obstacles and achieving a positive outcome.
