Rapporterade

Rapporterade is a Swedish word that functions as the past tense form of the verb rapportera, meaning to report or to file a report. In ordinary narrative, it indicates that the reporting took place in the past (for example, jag rapporterade felet). The present tense of the same verb is rapporterar, and the supine or past participle form used to form perfect tenses is rapporterat. As an adjective, rapporterade can modify plural nouns to mean “the reported …,” as in de rapporterade fallen (the reported cases).

In usage, rapporterade appears frequently in journalism, statistics, health surveillance, and official communications. It is commonly used to distinguish information that has been officially reported or published from information that is unverified or hypothetical. For example, reports may cite the number of rapporterade fall, or refer to the vecka-rapporterade siffror. The term helps convey that the figures or statements originate from a reporting source rather than from the author’s own measurement.

Etymology and formality: rapportera is formed from the noun rapport (a report) with the common Swedish -era suffix, and the noun rapport itself is borrowed from French. The word order and agreement reflect standard Swedish grammar; the plural participle form rapporterade agrees with plural nouns when used adjectivally.
