återlämnat

Återlämnat is a Swedish word that translates to "returned" or "given back" in English. It is the past participle of the verb "återlämna," which means to return something to its rightful owner or place. The word can be used in various contexts, referring to the act of returning an object, a person, or even a responsibility.

For example, one might say "boken är återlämnad" which means "the book is returned." This could refer to a library book that has been brought back to the library or a borrowed book that has been given back to its owner. Similarly, "paketet är återlämnat" means "the package is returned," indicating that a delivered item has been sent back, perhaps due to being undeliverable or unwanted.

In a broader sense, "återlämnat" can also imply restoration or restitution. If someone has "återlämnat" a lost item, it means they have given it back to the person who lost it. In legal or administrative contexts, it might refer to the act of returning property or assets that were wrongly taken or held. The concept emphasizes the completion of a transaction or the correction of a situation where something was previously absent or misplaced. The context in which "återlämnat" is used will determine the precise meaning, but the core idea of something being brought back to its original state or recipient remains consistent.
