slutförs

Slutförs is the present passive form of the Swedish verb slutföra, which means to complete, finalize or bring to a conclusion. The term is used to describe that something is in the process of being completed or is currently completed, with the agent performing the action often implicit or unspecified. The construction emphasizes the state of completion rather than the act itself.

Etymology and forms: Slutföra comes from slut (end) and föra (to bring). The present passive form is slutförs. Related forms include the infinitive slutföra, present slutför, past slutförde, and supine slutfört. The past participle slutfört is used with auxiliary verbs to form perfect tenses, as in har slutfört (has completed). The past passive would be slutfördes (was completed).

Usage: Slutförs is common in formal, administrative, and project-management contexts where the focus is on the completion status of a task, process, or document. It is often contrasted with avsluta, which also means to finish but can carry a broader sense of termination or ending.

Examples:

- Arbetet slutförs i slutet av veckan.

- Projektet slutförs av projektledaren.

- Vi förväntar oss att arbetet slutförs inom tre dagar.
