Questions & Answers about Resultatet analyseras av systemet.

Why is the preposition av used before systemet?
In a passive sentence, the action happens to the subject (resultatet), but we often still want to say who or what actually performed the action. We use av (by) to introduce this "doer" (which is called the agent). So, av systemet means "by the system".
How do we build the passive verb analyseras?
In the present tense, the passive is usually formed by taking the active verb (analyserar) and replacing the final -r with an -s. This single letter changes the meaning from "analyzes" to "is analyzed".
Could I say Resultatet blir analyserat av systemet instead?
Yes! Swedish has two main ways to make passive sentences. The -s passive used here (analyseras) is very common in formal text, news, and factual descriptions. You can also use blir (is/becomes) plus the past participle (analyserat). Both are correct, and both use av to introduce the agent.
Both resultatet and systemet end in -et. Are they the same type of noun?
Yes, they are both ett-words (neuter nouns) in their definite form. For ett-words that end in a consonant, you add -et to the end to mean "the". So, ett resultat becomes resultatet (the result) and ett system becomes systemet (the system).
