beslutet

Beslutet is a Swedish noun referring to a formal decision or ruling issued by an authority or individual with decision-making power. It is the definite singular form of the neuter noun beslutet? No, the base form is besl ut? The correct base is beslut. The indefinite singular is ett beslut, the definite singular is beslutet, the indefinite plural is beslut, and the definite plural is besluten.

Beslutet is used across public administration, law, business, and everyday governance to denote a concrete determination that affects rights, obligations, or procedures. Examples include a government agency’s decision on a permit, a court’s order, a municipal council’s resolution, or a corporate board’s policy decision. The term emphasizes the outcome as an official act rather than the process of deciding.

Common phrases include att fatta ett beslut (to make a decision), att överklaga ett beslut (to appeal a decision), and beslutet ska verkställas (the decision must be implemented). Related concepts include beslutanderätt (decision-making authority), beslutsprocessen (the decision-making process), and förvaltningsbeslut (administrative decision).

Etymology traces the noun to the verb besluta, meaning to decide. In Swedish usage, beslutsmarkering distinguishes between the act of deciding and the resulting document or ruling labeled as a decision. As a generic term, beslutsvarianter appear in legal texts, policy documents, and meeting records, with the definite form beslutet used when referring to a specific, previously mentioned decision.
