Förutsagda

Förutsagda is a Swedish adjective formed from the verb förutsäga (to predict). As a past participle used attributively, it means "predicted" or "forecasted" and is used to describe outcomes or events that have been predicted by analysis, models, or expert judgment. The form commonly appears before plural nouns, for example "förutsagda resultat" (predicted results) or "de förutsagda händelserna" (the predicted events). In the singular, the corresponding forms are "förutsagt" (neuter or in predicative use) and "förutsagd" (common gender) before a singular noun, with agreement in definiteness.

The word stems from förut- "before" and säg(a) "to say," reflecting the idea of stating something before it happens. In practice, "förutsagda" is frequent in scientific, statistical, economic and meteorological forecasting contexts. It is often contrasted with "observerade" (observed) to indicate predicted versus actual outcomes and is commonly used in reports, analyses, and planning documents.

Related terms include "förutsäga" (to predict), "förutsägelse" (prediction/forecast), and "förutsägbar" (predictable).
