Gjorda

Gjorda is a Swedish past participle of the verb göra, meaning made or done. It functions as an adjective describing something that has been created or completed, and is most common with plural nouns. It can also appear in singular form with an attributive use, for example en gjord produkt.

In practical use, gjorda denotes that multiple items have been completed. Examples include flera gjorda produkter (several made products) and de färdiga uppgifterna (the completed assignments), where the participle agrees with the noun in number. In predicative position after the verb vara (to be), the form also appears: produkten är gjord (the product is made) and produkterna är gjorda (the products are made).

Etymology and related forms: the Swedish verb göra has its roots in older Germanic languages, with the past participle forms evolving over time. The present participle gjord is used for singular reference, while gjorda is the form used with plural nouns in attributive or predicative contexts. The perfect passive construction uses a different participle form, typically gjorts, as in sakerna har gjorts (the things have been done).

Usage notes: gjorda primarily functions as an adjective and is not limited to physical making; it can describe tasks, objects, or results that have been completed. When speaking or writing, it is common to pair gjorda with nouns to convey completion, while gjorts appears in perfect passive constructions. The form of the participle reflects number and, in some cases, definiteness of the noun it modifies.
