granskat

Granskat is a Swedish past participle meaning examined or scrutinized. It is formed from the verb granska, which means to examine, inspect, or review. Granskat is used to indicate that something has undergone a careful assessment by someone else and appears in compound verb constructions to express a completed examination. For example: Rapporten har granskats av en oberoende kommitté, meaning the report has been examined by an independent committee.

In practice, granskat is commonly found in formal and semi-formal contexts such as academic articles, regulatory filings, audits, quality assurance reports, and media fact-checks. It signals that a standard of review or verification has been applied to the subject, whether a document, process, or set of results. The term is often paired with agents of review, such as eksperter or granskningsorgan, to specify who conducted the examination.

Etymology and related terms: granskat derives from granska, the base verb meaning to examine. Related words include granskning (the act of examining or inspection) and granskare (an examiner or reviewer). In translations, granskat is typically rendered as “examined” or “scrutinized,” depending on the precision required by the context.

Notes: While granskat is mainly used in past-tense, its usage is governed by Swedish grammar rules for compound tenses and passive constructions. It is less common as an isolated adjective and more often part of a verb phrase describing the outcome of a review.
