konkurrerade

Konkurrerade is the past tense form of the Swedish verb konkurrera, meaning to compete or contend. It indicates that someone or something engaged in competition in the past. The form is used with all persons: jag konkurrerade, du konkurrerade, han/hon konkurrerade, vi konkurrerade, ni konkurrerade, de konkurrerade. The corresponding present tense is konkurrerar, and the supine form is konkurrerat, which is used to form perfect tenses (har konkurrerat, hade konkurrerat).

Konkurrera is a versatile verb used in sports, business, politics, and everyday language. It can take om to mean competing for something (konkurrera om priset) or med to denote rivalry against others (konkurrera med olika företag). The noun konkurrens (competition) is derived from the same root, and relates to concepts such as market competition, sports rivalry, and strategic contests.

Etymology shares common roots with related European terms for competition, often traced back to Latin concurrere, and it has parallels in several Romance and Germanic languages. In Swedish, konkurrera and its derivatives form part of a broader vocabulary for rivalry and market dynamics, with konkurrera used for active competition and tävla as a close synonym in many contexts.
