faststälda

Fastställda is a Swedish adjective and past participle derived from the verb fastställa, meaning to determine, establish, or fix something definitively. The word is used to describe decisions, figures, dates, rules, standards, or other parameters that have been formally decided and are considered final or binding. The base form fastställa can be used in various tenses; for example, har fastställt means has established, while fastställda functions as a modifier in present contexts such as de fastställda reglerna (the established/fixed rules) or de fastställda beloppen (the fixed amounts).

Etymology: formed from fast (fixed) and ställa (to place/put).

Usage: Common in legal, administrative, scientific, and business language. References to fixed dates (fastställda datum), fixed prices (fastställda priser), or established standards (fastställda standarder). It can refer to finalized diagnoses, schedules, or outcomes after verification or approval processes.

Grammar: as an adjective, fastställda agrees in number and definiteness with the noun it describes. The related perfect tense is har fastställt (has established) and the participle form fastställd can be used in masculine or neuter singular, with fastställda used in plural or definite forms.

Examples: Reglerna gäller från det fastställda datumet. Priset är fastställt till 1 000 kronor. De fastställda måtten visade avvikelse.
