Betingad

Betingad is a Swedish adjective meaning that something is conditioned or contingent upon a specified condition. It describes situations, clauses or terms that only apply if the condition is met. The form is derived from the verb betinga (to condition, to stipulate) and the participial suffix -ad, yielding "betingad" as an adjective describing a state or requirement that is conditional.

In legal and contractual language, betingad is commonly used to indicate conditional terms. For example, "ett lån med betingade villkor" refers to a loan whose terms depend on certain conditions, and "avtalet gäller endast om myndighetens godkännande uppnås" expresses that the agreement is valid only if approval is obtained.

In logic and linguistics, the term is used to discuss conditional statements. A "betingad sats" refers to a conditional sentence such as "om X, så Y," whose truth value depends on the condition X.

Usage notes: betingad is a formal, technical term found in Swedish dictionaries and professional writing. It emphasizes dependence on a condition rather than a general sense of condition used in everyday language.
