sammanlänkas

Sammanlänkas is a Swedish verb meaning to be linked or connected together as part of a larger system or network. It is formed from samman- “together” and länkas, the passive present form of länka “to link.” The construction expresses a state in which elements are connected rather than an action performed by an agent.

Usage is common in technical, infrastructural, and organizational contexts. In IT, telecommunications, or civil engineering, components or networks are described as sammanlänkade or sammanlänkas to indicate they form a coherent whole: De två systemen sammanlänkas. Nätverket sammanlänkas med regionalnätet. The term is frequently used in formal or descriptive writing, such as reports, standards, and specifications. Synonyms include kopplas samman, länkas ihop, and sammankopplas; nuances vary: sammanlänkas emphasizes the process of becoming connected, while sammankopplas stresses functional interconnection.

Grammatical notes: sammanlänkas is the present passive form. Past tense forms include sammanlänkades (simple past) or har sammanlänkats (present perfect). Both may appear depending on tense. Related verbs include sammanlänka (to link together, active) and sammankoppla (to connect).
