sammanförs

Sammanförs is the present tense passive form of the Swedish verb sammanföra, meaning to bring together, unite or merge two or more things or groups. In passive construction, the subject receives the action rather than performs it, and the verb ends with the suffix -s.

Etymology and form: sammanföra is a compound of samman- (together) and föra (to lead, to bring). The passive voice is formed with the -s suffix, applicable to all persons in the present tense. Related forms include sammanförde (past tense), sammanförts (supine/perfect participle when used with have/has), and sammanförd (past participle used attributively).

Usage and context: sammanförs is commonly used in formal, administrative, or organizational contexts to describe mergers, consolidations, reunifications, or integration of components, groups, or institutions. Examples include merging departments, uniting schools into a single system, or bringing disparate groups into a common council.

Examples:

- Flera mindre skolor sammanförs till en större skolkoncern.

- Kommunens olika vårdcentraler sammanförs till en gemensam vårdcentral.

Grammatical notes: The form is versatile for describing current, ongoing processes where the subject is being brought together. If referring to a completed action, Swedish typically uses sammanfördes (past tense) or sammanförts in perfect constructions like har sammanförts.

See also: sammanföra, sammanförande, sammanfogning (noting related concepts of bringing together or merging).

Note: Sammanförs is a standard Swedish verb form and not typically used as a proper noun or title.
