Uppgivna

Uppgivna is a Swedish adjective meaning “stated” or “provided,” used to describe information or figures that have been stated by someone. It is the plural form used before plural nouns, as in uppgivna uppgifter or uppgivna siffror.

Etymology and form: the word derives from the verb uppge, to state or disclose. In its adjectival use, uppgivna modifies nouns and appears in both indefinite and definite noun phrases in plural form.

Usage: uppgivna commonly appears in official documents, reports, journalism, and statistical contexts to indicate information that has been provided or declared by an actor such as a organization, government, or researcher. The form is typically used with plural nouns, for example uppgivna uppgifter (stated data), uppgivna siffror (stated figures). In definite constructions it can appear as de uppgivna uppgifterna.

Examples: “De uppgivna uppgifterna i rapporten stödjer slutsatsen.” “Enligt de uppgivna siffrorna ökar försäljningen.” These examples illustrate how uppgivna attributes information that is presented as having been provided by a source.

Notes: uppgivna is a normal descriptive form rather than a technical term, and its acceptability depends on the surrounding context and the clarity of attribution. It should be distinguished from other participial adjectives with related meanings such as uppgivenhet (the act of giving up) in different grammatical contexts.
