Estimerade

Estimerade is a Swedish adjective meaning “estimated.” It is used to describe values, quantities, or outcomes that are not exact but based on calculation, projection, or approximation. The form signals that the figure is provisional and subject to change, often due to limited data or uncertainty in forecasting.

Grammatical form and usage: estimerade is the plural form and the common gender or definite plural form of the adjective. The corresponding neuter singular form is estimerat, and the basic indistinct form is estimerad for singular common gender. Examples: ett estimerat värde (an estimated value), det estimerade värdet (the estimated value), estimerade kostnaderna (the estimated costs). In professional or formal writing, estimerade is commonly used before plural nouns or in definite phrases to indicate provisional figures.

Context and applications: estimerade is frequently found in economics, finance, project planning, statistics, and research reports. It appears in statements about budgets, forecasts, risk assessments, and preliminary results. While it conveys precision in language, it inherently acknowledges uncertainty and the potential for revision as new information becomes available.

Related terms and alternatives: while estimerade conveys estimation, synonyms or nearby expressions include ungefär, cirka, or ungefärliga siffror to express approximation in a less formal way. The term is part of standard Swedish vocabulary and widely understood in official and academic contexts.
