inkluderades

Inkluderades is a Swedish verb form meaning was included or were included. It is the past tense of the verb inkludera (to include) in the passive voice. In Swedish, the passive past is typically formed by adding the suffix -s to the verb, so inkluderas or inkluderades both reflect passive forms; in this case inkluderas is present passive, and inkluderades is past passive. The form does not mark person or number, so it is identical for singular and plural subjects.

Origin and related forms: inkludera comes from in- (in, into) and cludera (to close), with the sense of bringing into a group or setting. The past participle is inkluderad, which functions as an adjective meaning included. Related nouns include inkludering (the act or state of including) and inclusion, while inkluderande and inklusive are adjectives meaning inclusive.

Usage and context: inkludera and its passive forms are common in formal and written Swedish, including journalism, science, law, and project documentation. Inkluderades focuses on the action of including and who or what is being included is often understood from context. It can appear with phrases such as “texten inkluderades i rapporten” (the text was included in the report) or “fynden inkluderades i studien” (the findings were included in the study).

Examples: “Föremålen inkluderades i utställningen.” “Alla uppgifter inkluderades i sammanfattningen.” The verb is suitable for both singular and plural subjects in the past tense, with the meaning remaining the same.
