utbjuds

Utbjuds is the present passive form of the Swedish verb utbjuda, meaning to offer or to put up for sale or consideration. The form indicates that something is being offered rather than actively offered by a specific agent. It is commonly used in advertising, procurement notices, auctions, and public tenders, where goods, services, or opportunities are described as available.

In Swedish grammar, utbjuds belongs to the syntetiska passiv (the -s form) and represents the present tense of the passive voice for utbjuda. The agent of the offering can be expressed with av, as in "Lägenheten utbjuds av mäklaren" (The apartment is offered by the real estate agent), but the agent is often omitted.

Examples: "Lägenheten utbjuds i annonsen." "Tjänsten utbjuds genom den offentliga upphandlingen." "Föremålet utbjuds på auktion." The term is distinct from related forms such as utbud (offerings or supply) and the past participle utbjuden, which appear in other tenses or constructions.

Notes: Utbjuds should not be confused with near-synonyms like erbjuds (is offered) or säljs (is sold). Erbjuda and utbjuda convey different nuances: erbjuds emphasizes the act of offering, while utbjuda emphasizes the act of putting something up for consideration or sale.
