fördelade

Fördelade is a Swedish verb form derived from fördela, meaning to allocate or distribute. It is used to describe how something has been divided among recipients or groups. In addition to its use as a finite verb form, fördelade can function as a past participle or adjective describing items that have been distributed.

Grammatical forms include: infinitive fördela; present tense fördelar; past tense fördelade; and the participle form fördelat used with har to form perfect tenses. As an adjective, it agrees in number and gender: en fördelad uppgift (a distributed task), flera fördelade uppgifter (several distributed tasks). In predicative use, nouns referring to distributed items may appear with fördelade uppgifter eller fördelade resurser.

Usage notes: The word is common in management, logistics, statistics, and everyday language when referring to allocation or apportionment of resources, tasks, or responsibilities. It can describe both planned and incidental distribution, and it is often employed in contexts that compare how resources or duties have been shared.

Examples: Vi fördelade arbetsuppgifterna mellan tre grupper. Resurserna fördelades jämt över tid. Uppgifterna var redan fördelade när projektet startade, vilket underlättade samarbetet. Den fördelade distributionen kunde justeras vid behov.

Etymology and related terms: Fördelade comes from prefixet för- combined with dela (to divide). The noun fördelning means distribution or allocation. Related terms include fördelning, fördelningsnyckel (allocation key), and distribute, which isoften used as a direct loan or calque in Swedish in certain technical contexts.
