avtalat

Avtalat is a Swedish term meaning "agreed" or "stipulated." It functions as an adjective or past participle derived from the verb avtala (to agree). In legal and formal contexts, avtalat signals that terms have been mutually decided and are binding for the parties involved.

Origin and form: The base noun avtal means contract or agreement. The suffix -at forms a participle adjective: en avtalad pris (an agreed price) or parterna har avtalat (the parties have agreed). This makes avtalat suitable for describing terms, conditions, or obligations.

Usage: It is common in contracts, negotiations, procurement, and regulatory or court documents to mark settled terms. Avtalat can describe time, price, conditions, or other obligations that have been accepted by all sides. The term emphasizes mutual consent rather than mere proposals.

Nuance: Avtalat is close in meaning to överenskommet or fastställt but emphasizes the existence of an agreement rather than the act of negotiating alone. In some cases an oral agreement can be avtalat even if not written; enforceability, however, depends on applicable law and the form of the agreement.

Examples: Parterna har avtalat om ett fast pris. (The parties have agreed on a fixed price.) Avtalet innehåller avtalade villkor. (The contract contains agreed terms.)
