Utdelas

Utdelas is a Swedish verb form meaning that something is being distributed or awarded. It is commonly used in official or formal language to indicate that a prize, grant, diploma, funds, or other items are being presented to recipients by an actor such as a jury, committee, or organizing body. The term can refer to both monetary prizes and non-monetary recognitions, and it appears in news reports, announcements, and ceremonial contexts.

Grammatically, utdelas is the present passive form of the verb utdela, whose active counterpart is utdela (to distribute or to award). In practice, utrdela in passive constructions is often found in phrases like “Priset delas ut” or “Priset utdelas,” depending on stylistic choices. The past forms include utdelades (simple past) and har utdelats (present perfect). The related noun utdelning denotes the act or event of distributing or awarding.

Etymology traces utdela to the prefix ut-, meaning outward or away, combined with dela, to share or divide. The sense has broadened to include both the distribution of tangible items and the formal awarding of recognitions.
