överlämnade

Överlämnade is the past tense form of the Swedish verb överlämna, meaning to hand over, deliver, or entrust something to another person or entity. It is used when a subject performs the act of handing something over. For example: "Han överlämnade nycklarna till fastighetsägaren." The form can refer to a single act by any subject and also appears in plural subjects.

The verb överlämna is formed with the prefix över- added to lämna (to leave or give). Its main forms include överlämnar (present), överlämnade (past), och överlämnades (passive past). The past participle is överlämnad, and in perfect tenses it commonly appears as överlämnats or has over-lämnats in combination with have/had. The noun form več is överlämnande, which denotes the act or process of handing over, such as in "överlämnande av handlingar" (handover of documents).

Usage and contexts: Överlämnade and its related forms are frequent in formal, administrative, legal, and diplomatic language. They describe the transfer of items, information, documents, authority, or responsibility. Examples include handing over reports to a supervisor, delivering evidence to an court, or transferring powers between agencies. The term is neutral and descriptive, suitable for official records, proceedings, and standard prose.

Related terms include överlämnande (the act of handing over) and, in passive constructions, överlämnades or överlämnats. Understanding these forms helps in interpreting Swedish sentences that describe transfers or deliveries in both everyday and formal contexts.
