stödas

Städas is the present passive form of the Swedish verb städa, meaning to clean or tidy. It denotes an action that is performed on the subject by an unspecified agent. The construction is common in impersonal statements, instructions, and descriptions of routines, where the doer is either unknown or not important.

In usage, städas describes what happens to a noun without naming who cleans it. For example, Rummet städas varje dag. Kontoret städas av städpersonal varje kväll. The form is neutral with respect to number; both singular and plural subjects use the same verb form: Rummet städas and Rummen städas.

Grammar-wise, städas is formed by adding the present passive suffix -s to the verb städa. This passive construction is widely used in Swedish and does not reflect the subject's person. It contrasts with the active voice, where the agent performing the cleaning would be expressed, for example, by using an agent phrase with av.

Etymology and related forms: The -s present passive ending is a standard feature in Swedish grammar, and städa comes from the same Old Norse and Germanic roots as many related verbs meaning to clean or arrange. Related terms include städa (to clean), städning (cleaning, housekeeping), and städare or städerska (a cleaner).

Note: "Städas" functions primarily as a grammatical form in Swedish and is not a proper noun or widely recognized title. It is best understood as the present passive of städa, used to describe routine or impersonal cleaning actions.
