erbjudna

Erbjudna is a Swedish linguistic term referring to the plural past participle of the verb erbjuda, meaning that something has been offered. It is used as an adjective to describe nouns that have been presented or made available, often in contexts such as marketing, contracts, or public notices. The form denotes a completed offering and agrees with the noun it modifies in number.

Morphology and forms: The adjective form erbjudna is used with plural nouns. The corresponding singular forms occur as erbjuden or erbjudet, depending on gender, with erbjuden typically for common gender and erbjudet for neuter. In predicate position, a form such as är erbjudna can appear when describing multiple items being offered, while past perfect constructions use forms like har erbjudits to indicate that offerings have taken place.

Usage and examples: Common phrases include erbjuda in verb phrases, but erbjudna surfaces in noun-adjective contexts such as "erbjudna varor" (the offered goods), "erbjudna villkor" (the offered terms), or in headlines where a concise descriptor is needed. In standard prose, the phrase "är erbjudna" can indicate that items or terms are currently offered, whereas "erbjudna" on its own functions as a descriptive modifier.

See also: erbjudande (offer), erbjudanden (offers), erbjuda (to offer). In Swedish grammar references, erbjudna is cited as the plural form of the past participle used adjectivally, illustrating how participles can function similarly to adjectives in Scandinavian languages.
