erhållet

Erhållet is a Swedish past participle form derived from the verb erhålla, meaning to obtain or receive. Used as an adjective, erhållet denotes that something has been obtained or received. The form is most common in formal or administrative writing, such as legal documents, financial reports, and official communications.

As an adjective, erhållet agrees with the noun it modifies. In practice you may encounter neuter singular phrases like ett erhållet belopp and plural phrases such as de erhållna medlen. The form is part of a family of related participle constructions in Swedish, and in many contexts the more common perfect participle form erhållit is used in verb tenses (for example har erhållit). The plural or definite forms of the adjective often align with standard noun agreement, giving phrases like de erhållna pengarna.

Usage notes: erhållet tends to appear when the focus is on the fact that something has been obtained, rather than on the act of obtaining itself. It is typically found in written language rather than spoken everyday Swedish. In many contemporary texts, erhållit (as a verb participle) or the passive constructions with mer explicit tense are also used to convey the same idea.
