Genomförde

Genomförde is a Swedish verb form meaning carried out or implemented. It is the simple past tense (preterite) of the verb genomföra, which is transitive and used to describe the execution of actions, plans, projects, or policies. The present tense is genomför, the past participle is genomfört, and the infinitive is genomföra. In perfect tenses, it combines with the auxiliary ha, for example har genomfört.

As a past tense form, genomförde appears in sentences that describe completed actions by a subject. Examples include "Företaget genomförde projektet" (The company carried out the project) and "Kommunen genomförde en ny policy" (The municipality implemented a new policy). The passive equivalent is genomfördes, as in "Projektet genomfördes förra året" (The project was carried out last year).

Genomförde is part of a broader verbal set with the noun form genomförande, meaning the act or process of carrying out or implementing. The verb stem can combine with the prefix genom- to emphasize completion or thoroughness; the related verb forms are used across formal and written Swedish, including reports, press releases, and policy documents. Synonyms include utföra (to perform or execute) and genomföras in passive constructions.

Etymology traces genomföra to the compound of gen- (through, across) and föra (to bring, to lead), collectively conveying the idea of bringing something to completion through action.
