Återupptas

Återupptas is a Swedish verb form meaning to be resumed or to be taken up again after an interruption. It is the passive form of återuppta, which means to resume or to take up again. The word is used to indicate that a process, activity, or discussion will continue after a pause. It is common in formal writing, journalism and official communications, but also appears in everyday language.

Grammatically, återupptas is the present passive form. The corresponding active forms are återupptar (present), återupptog (past), and återupptagit (supine or perfect participle). The passive past form is återupptogs, and the present perfect passive is har återupptagits. Future situations are typically expressed with kommer att återupptas or när pausen är över, for example: Arbetet kommer att återupptas nästa vecka.

Usage and nuances: återupptas emphasizes continuation after a pause rather than a simple ongoing activity, and it is often used in contexts such as projects, negotiations, studies, or public services. It can appear in news reports, policy statements and official updates to signal that activities or discussions are resuming. Synonyms or related expressions include fortsätta, starta igen, eller igångsätta igen, though these may carry slightly different emphasis on continuity or renewal rather than the formal pause-and-resume sense.

Examples: Arbetet återupptas nästa vecka. Förhandlingarna återupptogs efter kriminalvakuumet. Forskningen har återupptagits efter finansieringsbeslutet.
