intjänat

Intjänat is a Swedish term meaning earned or accrued, used as an adjective or past participle derived from tjäna (to earn). It describes rights, payments, or benefits that have been earned through work, service, or time and are typically realizable or payable in the future rather than immediately.

Common usages include intjänade semesterdagar (vacation days earned), intjänad inkomst (income earned), or intjänade pensionsrättigheter (earned pension rights). In payroll, HR, and pension documentation the term marks entitlements that accumulate over a period and may be used or received later.

Etymology and nuance: the prefix in- forms a completed or secured status. The term is widely used in Sweden in official contexts as well as everyday speech but is relatively specialized outside Swedish contexts.

Examples and note: "Han har fyra intjänade semesterdagar" (He has four earned vacation days).
