Utdelats

Utdelats is a Swedish past participle form of the verb utdela, meaning to distribute or to award. It is used to indicate that something has been distributed or granted, typically in formal or official language. In perfect and passive constructions, you may see sentences like Priset har utdelats ("the prize has been awarded") or Priset har utdelats till vinnaren. In present tense, the everyday passive is often expressed with delas ut (two words) rather than a single-word form.

As an attributive or predicative participle, utdelats can appear in contexts describing something that has already been distributed or granted, for example the award that has been given, though common usage favors the two-word passive in ongoing statements.

Etymology and related forms: utdelats comes from the prefix ut- meaning outward or away and the verb dela, share or distribute. The word belongs to a family of terms around distribution and awards, such as utdelning (distribution or awarding) and utdelare (the distributor or awarding body).

Usage notes: Utdelats is most frequent in formal writing, news reporting, and ceremonial language where it denotes completed action—something that has been distributed or awarded by an authority. The term can be used with prizes, recognitions, notices, or other items that are allotted to recipients.
