återlägger

Återlägger is a Swedish verb meaning to place something again, or more commonly to return a matter to a previous stage or to present a document or case again for consideration. The word is formed from åter- (“again”) and lägga (“to lay, to place, to present”). The infinitive is återlägga; principal forms include återlägger (present), återlade (past), and återlagt (supine/participle).

Usage is typically found in formal or administrative language, especially in legal, governmental, or organizational contexts. A case, decision, or document may be återläggs to a higher or different body for reconsideration, or a proposal may be återläggs to a committee for further work. The sense is generally forward about reintroducing or reprocessing rather than physical relocation.

Grammatical notes: återlägger is a regular verb. Infinitive återlägga; present återlägger; imperfect återlade; supine/participle återlagt.

See also terms in related administrative and legal vocabulary, such as återuppta (to resume), återställa (to restore), and remissrelaterade processer. Because the exact sense of återlägga can vary by jurisdiction and context, it is commonly defined within the specific legal or administrative texts where it appears.

In sum, återlägger denotes a formal action of reintroducing or re-evaluating a matter or document, rather than a casual or everyday relocation.
