administrerades

Administrerades is a Swedish verb form used to indicate that something was administered or managed by someone else. It is the past tense passive form of the infinitive administrera, and it typically appears in neutral, factual writing when the agent performing the action is unknown or unimportant.

Grammatical notes: The verb administrera belongs to the regular -era conjugation in the present tense as administrerar, in the past tense as administrerade, and in the past passive as administrerades. The present passive is administreras, and the perfect passive is administrerats (has/have been administered). The past passive is used in contexts such as medical reporting or administrative records.

Etymology and usage: The word derives from Latin administrare via the history of Swedish language development. Administrera covers both to administer in the sense of manage or oversee, and to dispense or give medicines. The passive form administrerades is common in formal writing, clinical notes, and bureaucratic reporting.

Examples: Vaccinet administrerades av sjuksköterskan. Beslutet administrerades av myndigheterna. These examples illustrate the use of the past passive to describe actions performed on subjects without naming the actor, or when the actor is not the focus of the statement.

Notes: The passive form emphasizes the action and its recipient rather than the doer. In Swedish, the agent can be introduced with av, as in the examples, or omitted entirely when it is obvious from context.
