stördes

Stördes is a form of the Swedish verb störa and functions as a past passive. The verb störa means to disturb, disrupt, or inconvenience, and stosine forms can express that something was disturbed by an external factor in the past. In passive constructions, the subject experiences the disturbance rather than performs it, and the agent is typically introduced with av (by).

Grammatical role and forms: Stördes is the simple past passive form of störa. The corresponding present passive is störs, and the active past tense is störde (I disturbed, you disturbed, etc.). The past participle is stört, used in compound tenses or as an adjective (störd meaning disturbed).

Usage: Stördes is commonly used to describe interruptions or disturbances caused by external causes. It can refer to natural phenomena, noise, or other events that affected someone or something in the past. The agent of disturbance is usually stated with av, for example: Min sömn stördes av trafiken utanför huset (My sleep was disturbed by traffic outside the house). Arbetet stördes av förseningar (The work was disrupted by delays).

Relation to related terms: Störa is closely related to nouns such as störning (disturbance) and störande (disturbing). The adjective stört describes something that has been disturbed, and störs is the present passive form used in current contexts.

Note: While primarily a grammatical term, stördes is widely understood in everyday Swedish to indicate that an event or condition interrupted or affected someone or something in the past.
