bekräftats

Bekräftats is the past participle form of the Swedish verb bekräfta, meaning “confirmed” or “verified.” It is used primarily in passive constructions and in perfect tenses to indicate that something has been verified by a person, authority, or source. The related verb bekäfta is built from be- plus kräfte/kräfta, a linguistic development that yields the modern sense of making something firm or true.

In Swedish grammar, bek räftats functions as a participle rather than as a finite verb. It appears in passive phrases formed with auxiliary verbs such as har or var/blev to express tense and voice. For example, uppgifterna har bekräftats means “the information has been confirmed,” while uppgifterna bekräftades means “the information was confirmed.” The form is invariable in passive constructions, not changing for gender or number when used with appropriate auxiliaries.

Usage notes:

- Bekräftats commonly appears in formal writing, journalism, and legal or governmental contexts to convey that a claim, report, or piece of information has been verified.

- It conveys reliability and authorization when attributed to an authority or source, e.g., “Resultatet har bekräftats av oberoende experter.”

- It can be paired with different tenses through different auxiliaries, such as har bekräftats (present perfect) or var bekräftats (past passive).

Related terms include bekräfta (the base verb), bekräftelse (confirmation), and bekräftande (confirming). Bekräftats stands as a standard linguistic form for expressing that something has undergone verification within Swedish syntax.
