kartlade

Kartlade is the past tense form of the Swedish verb kartlägga, meaning to map, chart, or inventory. The verb is built from karta, meaning map, and lägga, meaning to lay or put, and is used when describing the systematic creation of a map, inventory, or dataset. Kartlade expresses that a mapping act has been completed in the past. It is not a noun, but a finite verb form.

In usage, kartlägga appears in contexts such as geographic mapping, data analysis, and planning. It can refer to mapping customer behavior, identifying vulnerabilities, or charting resources. Example: "Företaget kartlade sina kunders beteende under förra året." Grammatically, kartlägga is a regular weak verb; its present tense is kartlägger, past tense kartlade, and the supine kartlagt. Related terms include kartläggning (the act of mapping) and kartografi (cartography). The form kartlade is typically used in past-tense constructions across formal and semi-formal Swedish texts.
