kommenterat

Kommenterat is the past participle of the Swedish verb kommentera, meaning to comment. The form is used to express completed commenting actions in compound tenses, for example har kommenterat (has commented) and hade kommenterat (had commented). It can also function as a participial adjective describing a noun, in which case the form may align with the noun in gender and number, for example ett kommenterat inlägg or den kommenterade texten when referring to a definite noun.

In passive constructions the corresponding form is kommenterats, as in Inlägget har kommenterats av flera användare (the post has been commented on by several users). The participle thus participates in both active and passive voice constructions, depending on how the sentence is built.

Formation and related forms: The verb commentera is a loanword built with the -era suffix of Swedish verbs. Its noun is kommentar, and related terms include kommentarer (comments) and the verbal forms har kommenterat, hade kommenterat, and har kommenterats.
