uppfyllas

Uppfyllas is the present passive form of the Swedish verb uppfylla, meaning to fulfill or satisfy. It is used to indicate that a condition, requirement, promise, or standard is being met, with the focus on the result rather than on who performs the action.

In usage, uppfyllas commonly appears in formal, administrative, or legal contexts, where compliance with rules or agreements is described. The agent performing the fulfillment is often introduced with the preposition av, as in kraven uppfylls av företaget (the requirements are fulfilled by the company) or villkoren uppfylls inom överenskommen tid (the terms are fulfilled within the agreed time).

Grammatically, uppfyllas is the passive form of uppfylla in the present tense. It can occur with plural or singular subjects without changing its form, a feature of the Swedish passive voice. The verb has corresponding forms in other tenses, such as uppfyllde (past) and uppfylld/uppfyllt (past participle), and it participates in related constructions with the noun uppfyllelse, meaning fulfillment or completion.

Etymology and related forms: uppfylla combines upp- (a prefix meaning up or in addition) with fylla (to fill). The root concept centers on bringing something up to a required level or standard. Related terms include uppfyllelse (fulfillment), uppfylld (fulfilled), and uppfyllande (fulfilling). In Swedish, these forms are used across legal, technical, and everyday contexts to express that criteria or commitments have been met.
