Uppmärksammats

Uppmärksammats is a Swedish past participle form used in the passive voice of the verb uppmärksamma, meaning to notice, to draw attention to, or to bring something to someone’s notice. It is used to indicate that something has received attention from others, rather than being actively noticed by the subject itself.

The word appears mainly in formal or written Swedish, such as journalism, public administration, academic reporting, and legal or official communications. In these contexts, uppmärksammats signals that a matter has been observed, reported on, or brought to the attention of authorities or the public. It can describe events, issues, cases, or actions that have become notable within a given discourse.

Typical constructions include har uppmärksammats (has/have been noticed or brought to attention) and uppmärksammades (was/were noticed). For example: Fallet har uppmärksammats av flera medier. Rapporten uppmärksammades av myndigheterna efter nyheten. These examples show how the term documents that attention has been directed toward something, rather than asserting that the subject actively noticed it.

Uppmärksammats should be distinguished from related verbs like uppmärksamma (to notice/draw attention) in its passive, completed sense. It is also distinct from uppmärksam (attentive) and from nouns built from the same root. In usage, the term emphasizes the reception of attention by the subject rather than the act of noticing itself.
