bedömde

Bedömde is the past tense form of the Swedish verb bedöma, which means to assess, evaluate, or judge. The verb bedöma is transitive and commonly used in contexts such as education, employment, risk assessment, and decision making.

Forms and usage: The present tense is bedömer. The past tense is bedömde, as in "Läraren bedömde elevens arbete." The past participle is bedömt, used to form perfect tenses (har bedömt). The corresponding noun is bedömning, meaning an assessment or evaluation, and the adjective bedömd means deemed or assessed.

Etymology: Bedöma is formed from the verb döma with the prefix be-, and it shares a semantic field with other evaluative verbs in Swedish.

Examples and context: Bedöma is widely used in professional and academic contexts to express forming a judgment about quality, risk, merit, or need. It can describe processes such as grading student work, evaluating applications, or assessing a situation. In many sentences, the object of bedöma is a person, object, or proposition being judged.

Related terms: bedömning (assessment), bedömd (deemed/assessed; adjective), döma (to judge), utvärdera (to evaluate).

Notes: Bedömde, as a simple past form, indicates a completed evaluation in the past. Swedish verbs vary in conjugation, but bedöma follows common patterns for transitive verbs. The word is not a proper noun and should be understood as a common verb in standard Swedish.
