Bevilgede

Bevilgede is a Norwegian verb form used in administrative and official language. It derives from the verb bevilge, which means to grant, confer, or authorize. Bevilgede appears as a past tense form and as a participial adjective describing something that has been granted or approved by an authority.

In practice, bevilgede is commonly found in contexts where authorities allocate resources, permissions, or rights. Typical uses include phrases such as bevilgede midler (granted funds), bevilgede rettigheter (granted rights), or bevilgede løyver (granted licenses). The term signals that a decision or allocation has already been made by a governing body, funding agency, or other official entity.

Bevilgede is contrasted with related terms such as bevilgning, which refers to the act of granting or the allocation itself, and bevilget, the more general past participle form used in various compound tenses. The word is part of public-sector and budgeting vocabulary and appears in statutes, budget documents, grant announcements, and administrative records.

Language note: bevilgede can function attributively to modify a plural noun (bevilgede midler) or appear in predicate position in sentences describing actions already performed by authorities. While the primary meaning remains “granted,” the exact nuance depends on context, ranging from funding decisions to permissions and licenses.
