upprättas

Upprättas is a Swedish verb in the present passive form of upprätta, meaning to establish, draw up, erect, or restore. The construction expresses that the action is being carried out or produced by an agent, typically an authority or organization, rather than the subject performing the action actively. The form is used when describing documents, agreements, plans, or structures that are created or formalized by someone else.

The verb has common tense forms in Swedish, including upprättas (present passive), upprättades (past passive), and the infinitive upprätta. The participle form upprättat is used in compound tenses and adjectival phrases, and the noun forms upprättelse (redress, restoration, establishment) and upprättande (the act of establishing) are closely related.

Usage and Contexts

Upprätta and its passive upprättas appear frequently in formal, legal, administrative, and documentary contexts. For example, a government body may state that a new regulation is upprättas, or a secretary may note that a protocol is upprättas after a meeting. The passive emphasizes the action being performed by an external agent or authority rather than by the subject itself.
