avslöjat

Avslöjat is a Swedish word that functions as the past participle of the verb avslöja, meaning to reveal or disclose. It is used as an adjective or in compound verb forms to describe information or facts that have been disclosed or exposed. The term is common in journalism and public discourse, where it signals that something previously hidden has been made public. Related forms include avslöjande (the act of revealing, or something revealing) and avslöjanden (revelations or disclosures).

Origin and grammar: Avslöja is formed with the prefix av-, meaning “un-” or “off,” combined with slöja (to veil). The past participle avslöjat is used in the neuter singular and as a predicate adjective to indicate that a matter has been revealed, and can appear in headlines or formal prose. In everyday Swedish, the perfect tense can be formed with har avslöjat to mean “has revealed.”

Usage and context: Avslöjat frequently appears in news headlines and investigative reporting to label new discoveries, leaks, or whistleblower disclosures. It can function as a standalone headline term (for example, in a headline such as Avslöjat: nya uppgifter om korruptionshärva) or as an attributive adjective in a sentence, as in ett avslöjat fel i systemet. The word carries a neutral denotation of disclosure but is often associated with sensational or investigative contexts.
