gjettet

Gjettet is the past participle of the Norwegian verb gjette, meaning to guess. It is used to describe something that has been guessed and appears in perfect tenses with the auxiliary verb har, as in phrases like I have guessed.

In Bokmål Norwegian, gjette is treated as a regular verb. Its present tense form is gjetter, the simple past is gjettet, and the past participle is gjettet. This enables constructions such as Jeg har gjettet riktig (I have guessed correctly) and Han gjettet på svaret (He guessed at the answer).

Usage notes include that gjettet primarily functions within compound tenses to convey completed guessing actions. The form is common in everyday speech, writing, and media, where accuracy about what has been guessed is being described or reported.
