Trukket

Trukket is the past participle of the Norwegian verb trekke, meaning to pull or draw. It is used both as part of compound verb tenses (with har or had) and as an adjective in certain constructions. In practice, trukket often translates to “pulled” or “drawn” in English.

As a verb form, trukket appears in perfect and pluperfect constructions. Examples include: jeg har trukket et kort (I have drawn a card) and vognen er trukket opp (the wagon has been pulled). The simple past of trekke is trakk, while the past participle trukket is used with auxiliary verbs to form completed actions or passive meanings, such as kortet er trukket or lasset har blitt trukket.

As an adjective, trukket describes something that has been drawn or pulled, though this usage is less frequent than the verbal form. In contexts like transportation or games, trukket can appear in phrases that convey a completed action or a state resulting from pulling or drawing.

Common contexts include physical pulling (a rope that has been trukket), towing or dragging (vognen ble trukket av en bil), and drawing in card games or lotteries (trekningen kan resultere i at kortet er trukket). The related noun trekning denotes the act of drawing or a draw, such as a lottery draw.

Etymology traces back to trekke, from Old Norse draga, with similar forms in other Scandinavian languages. See also trekke, trekning, and related verb forms in Norwegian grammar.
