Swedish

Etymology

From Old Swedish yppa, from Old Norse yppa, from Proto-Germanic *uppijaną. Cognate of Danish yppe, Middle Low German uppen, Old English yppan.

Verb

yppa

1. reveal, disclose, divulge

   yppa en hemlighet

   reveal a secret

2. (reflexive) come forth, appear, present itself, arise, turn up

   ett tillfälle yppade sig

   an opportunity presented itself

Usage notes

The passive voice is identical in meaning to the reflexive form. Thus ett tillfälle yppas means the same as ett tillfälle yppade sig.
