klickas

Klickas is the present passive form of the Swedish verb klicka, meaning to click. In standard usage, klickas describes an action performed by a subject on an object, typically through a mouse, touchscreen, or similar input, and is common in contexts related to digital interfaces, navigation, and analytics. The form is frequently found in interface text, user guides, and reporting to indicate that a user has clicked a link or button.

Etymology and form: Klicka is a borrowed verb derived from the English word click, adapted into Swedish morphology. The passive present is formed with the suffix -s, yielding klickas. Related forms include klickar (present active), klickade (past), klickat (supine or past participle), and har klickats (present perfect passive). While klickas is especially common in passive constructions, active forms such as klickar are used to specify who performs the action.

Usage and examples: In everyday Swedish, passive constructions are used to describe user interactions without naming the agent. Examples include: Länken klickas ofta av besökare. (The link is often clicked by visitors.) Knappen klickades av testpersonen. (The button was clicked by the test subject.) Länken har klickats av flera användare. (The link has been clicked by several users.)

Notes: Klickas is primarily a linguistic form rather than a standalone noun. It may appear in technical writing, software localization, and data logs to report user actions. Outside linguistic contexts, the capitalization Klickas could appear as a proper noun only in rare cases, such as a brand name or title.
