aktiverade

Aktiverade is a Swedish word that functions as the simple past tense of the verb aktivera and as the plural past participle adjective aktiverad. In practice, it can describe actions that activated something (they activated the system) or describe items that have been activated (activated accounts). The form is common in technology, administration, medicine and other contexts where features, accounts or devices are turned on or enabled.

Etymology and related forms: The verb aktivera is a loanword from English activate, formed in Swedish with the -a verb ending. Related forms exist in other Scandinavian languages (Danish aktiverede, Norwegian aktiverte) and in German (aktiviert) and other languages, reflecting a broad international usage around the concept of enabling or turning on.

Grammatical usage: The infinitive is aktivera; present tense aktiverar; past tense aktiverade; supine aktiverat. The past participle singular is aktiverad and the plural past participle used as an adjective is aktiverade, as in aktiverade konton (activated accounts). The passive voice employs aktiverades, as in Kontot aktiverades av administratören (The account was activated by the administrator).

Usage considerations: In contemporary Swedish, aktiverade is most often encountered in IT, security, and administrative communications to indicate that a feature, account, or service has been enabled. It can appear as a verb in past tense or as an adjective modifying plural nouns. See also aktivering (activation) for related concepts.
