Tillåtna

Tillåtna is a Swedish adjective meaning allowed or permitted. It is used to describe actions, objects, or conditions that comply with rules, regulations, or permissions. The base form is tillåten (singular). Tillåtna is the plural form used with plural nouns, as in tillåtna handlingar (permitted actions) or tillåtna gäster (permitted guests). When the noun is definite, the adjective still appears as tillåtna, for example de tillåtna handlingarna. The term appears across registers, from everyday language to formal or legal contexts.

In contrast, the opposite forms are otillåten (singular common gender), otillåtet (singular neuter), and otillåtna (plural). These forms are used to describe things that are not permitted. The word tillåtna is derived from the verb tillåta, meaning to allow, with standard Swedish adjectival endings that mark number and definiteness.

Usage and context: tillåtna is commonly used in policies, safety instructions, licensing, and compliance texts to label what is permissible. It can modify a wide range of nouns, including actions, items, and statuses. Examples include: Endast tillåtna handlingar får passera; Alla tillåtna gäster var närvarande; Otillåtna åtgärder är förbjudna. The term helps clearly distinguish permitted from prohibited elements within rules and procedures.
