utlova

Verb

 * 1) to promise (something, or to bring about something)

Usage notes

 * Can take a thing someone promises (to bring about) as a direct object.
 * For "I promise to ...", "Jag lovar att ..." sounds more natural than "Jag utlovar att ..."
 * Idiomatic for "a promised X" (an X someone has been promised) in the past participle.
