besökta

Besökta is a Swedish adjective and past participle form derived from the verb besöka, meaning to visit. Used in a predicative or attributive role, it denotes that something has been visited. In practice, besökta most often appears before plural nouns to describe places, people, or events that have been visited, such as besökta platser (visited places), besökta städer (visited cities) or besökta gäster (visited guests).

As a participle, besökta is the plural form used with plural nouns. The corresponding singular form used in other constructions is besökt, which appears in perfect tenses and other non-attributive contexts, for example har besökt (has visited). A common usage pattern is plataformas like Dessa platser är besökta, meaning “These places have been visited.”

Etymology and related forms: besökta is part of the larger verb besöka, which means to visit. The noun besök means a visit, and besökta is formed with the suffix that marks past participle adjectives. The term is widely used in travel writing, historical accounts, archaeology, and tourism contexts to indicate prior visitation or examination of locations or subjects.
