Insamlade

Insamlade is a form of the Swedish verb insamla, meaning to collect or gather. It is most commonly seen in two grammatical roles: as the preterite (past simple) form of insamla, used with subjects in the past tense, for example jag insamlade pengar or de insamlade pengarna; and as a past participle used as an adjective meaning "collected" or "gathered," agreeing with the noun it modifies, for example insamlade pengar or den insamlade rapporten, de insamlade uppgifterna. In attributive use, the ending -ade marks plural and non-definite contexts, while definite phrases such as de insamlade pengarna show the definite form and agreement.

Insamlade can also function in a passive construction with the participle insamlats, which is used to form perfect tenses: pengarna har insamlats (the money has been collected). The passive imperfect or preterite is expressed as pengarna insamlades (the money was collected). These forms are common in news reporting, fundraising, and data-collection contexts.

Common usage and collocations include insamlade pengar (collected funds), insamlade uppgifter (collected data), and insamlingskampanj (fundraising campaign), with insamla referring to the act of gathering and insamling to the act or result of gathering.

Etymology and related terms: insamla is built from samla (to gather) with an intensifying prefix in-; the noun insamling denotes the act of collecting, while insammelser or insamlingar appear in various contexts. The term is standard in Swedish for describing both the act of collecting and its results.
