inkluderar

Inkluderar is the present tense form of the Swedish verb inkludera, meaning to include or to comprise. It is used when stating that something contains elements, is part of a set, or is brought into a group. The term appears in formal and everyday contexts, such as reports, plans, lists, and discussions about accessibility or representation.

Etymology and usage notes

The verb inkludera is a borrowing from earlier forms derived from Latin includere, with intermediaries in European languages such as French inclure or English include. In Swedish, inkludera and its related forms have become standard in both professional and academic language, as well as in media and public discourse.

Conjugation and forms

In the present tense, it is commonly rendered as jag inkluderar, du inkluderar, han inkluderar, vi inkluderar, ni inkluderar, de inkluderar. The related infinitive is inkludera, with past forms such as inkluderade (past) and inkluderat (supine/participial form).

Usage and nuances

Inkludera is often used to enumerate components in a list, define the scope of a project, or indicate that a group or dataset contains certain elements. It contrasts with synonyms like innehålla (to contain in a broader sense) and omfatta (to encompass). In education and workplace contexts, inklusion and inkludera are used when discussing inclusion of diverse people or ideas. In programming or documentation, the term may appear in discussions of including libraries, modules, or files, though technical fields frequently use English-oriented terminology alongside Swedish.
