sökas

sökas is a Swedish word that translates to "to be sought" or "to be looked for" in English. It is a passive form derived from the verb "söka," which means "to seek," "to search," or "to look for." The "-s" ending in Swedish often indicates a passive voice or a reflexive action.

In practice, sökas is used when an object or person is the recipient of the action of seeking, rather than the one performing it. For example, "en lösning sökas" means "a solution is being sought." Similarly, if someone is missing, one might say "personen sökas" to indicate that the person is being searched for.

The word can also imply a more abstract search, such as "kunskap sökas" (knowledge is sought) or "hjälp sökas" (help is sought). The context in which sökas is used will clarify the specific meaning of the search or request. It is a common and versatile word in the Swedish language, appearing in various formal and informal contexts.
