tillgöra

Tillgöra is a Swedish verb meaning to provide, grant, or make available something to someone. It is typically used in formal or administrative contexts, where an institution, authority, or person supplies information, resources, rights, or other benefits to another party. The term is transitive and usually appears with both a recipient and the thing being provided.

In usage, tillgöra can describe actions such as supplying information to citizens, granting rights through legislation, or allocating resources to a project. It is related to verbs like tillhandahålla (to provide or make available), bevilja (to grant), and tillgodose (to satisfy or accommodate). The phrase is common in official language, policy texts, and discussions of public administration or rights.

The word is formed from the prefix till- with göra (to do), signaling the act of doing something for someone or making something available to them. A reflexive form, tillgöra sig, exists in Swedish with the sense of appropriating or obtaining something for oneself, often in contexts concerning misuse or overreach.

Examples of use in neutral, formal language might include: "Lagen tillgör medborgarna vissa rättigheter," meaning the law provides citizens certain rights; "Myndigheten tillgör stöd till utsatta grupper," meaning the agency provides support to vulnerable groups.
