beslutad

Beslutad is a Swedish adjective meaning decided, settled, or established. It is formed from the verb besluta (to decide) with the suffix -ad, which is used to create adjectives from verbs. Beslutad describes something that has already been decided or officially approved, such as a plan, policy, or action.

Beslutad is typically used to modify nouns and agrees with gender and number in standard Swedish adjective inflection. Common contexts include formal or administrative language, where you might encounter phrases like en beslutad plan, en beslutad policy, or den beslutade strategin. The word signals finality and formal approval rather than the deliberation process.

In relation to other forms of besluta, beslutad is distinct from beslutat, which is the past participle used in compound tenses for the verb besluta (for example, har beslutat, har beslutat sig). The noun related to this family is beslut, meaning decision; the definite form is beslutet and the definite plural is besluten. Thus beslutad describes the state of something after a decision has been made, while besluta and beslutat describe the act and its completed tense.

Usage notes and alternatives: beslutad conveys a sense of authority and formality and is common in official documents, meeting minutes, and policy descriptions. In more everyday language, speakers may use alternatives such as bestämd, fastställd, or avgjord to express a similar idea, depending on context.
