bekräftat

Bekräftat is a Swedish term formed as the past participle of bekräfta, meaning to confirm or verify. It functions both as a participial verb form in compound tenses (for example har bekräftat) and as an adjective describing a state that has been confirmed. In practice, bek räftat is most often used in reference to information, decisions, or communications that have been officially validated.

In everyday and formal language, bek räftat appears in phrases such as “ett bekräftat meddelande” (a confirmed message) or “din ansökan har bekräftats” (your application has been confirmed). It is commonly used in administrative, legal, and commercial contexts to indicate that something has been verified or acknowledged, such as bekräftat mottagande av dokument (acknowledged receipt of documents) or bekräftat bokningsnummer (confirmed booking number).

Grammatically, bek räftat inflects with the verb bekräfta: present bekräftar; past bekräftade; and the past participle bek räftat, which is used with auxiliary verbs to form perfect tenses. As an adjective, the form bek räftad is also used for common-gender nouns (for example, en bekräftad uppgift). The neuter past participle form can appear as bekräftat when modifying neuter nouns (ett bekräftat beslut).

Etymology traces bek räftat to be- plus kräfta, with the sense of making something stronger or more certain, a development that extended to confirming or validating information or decisions.
