skapas

Skapas is a Swedish verb form that translates to "is created" or "is being created" in English. It is the present passive form of the verb skapa, which means "to create." In Swedish, the present passive is formed by adding the -s suffix to the verb stem, giving skap- + -as = skapas. The form indicates that the action of creating happens to the subject without specifying the agent; when an agent is mentioned, it is usually introduced with av, meaning "by."

Usage of skapas occurs in ordinary sentences to express creation as a passive event. For example: "Produkten skapas i fabriken" (The product is created in the factory) and "Nya regler skapas i samråd med berörda parter" (New rules are created in consultation with the parties involved). The phrase "blandningen skapas av kemikerna" can also be used to indicate who performs the creating, though the agent is often omitted.

Skapas has related forms in other tenses and aspects. The past passive is skapades, meaning "was created." The noun form skapande means "creation" or "creativity," while skapare means "creator." These related forms share the same root, skap-, derived from the verb skapa.

Notes and scope: skapas is a standard grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical item with independent meaning. It appears primarily in passive constructions in Swedish, and is routinely encountered in language instruction, grammar references, and Swedish prose where the passive voice is used to emphasize the event of creation rather than the agent.
