kontrollerar

Kontrollerar is the present tense form of the Swedish verb kontrollera, meaning to check, inspect, verify or regulate something. It is used in a wide range of contexts, including quality control, safety checks, compliance and administration, as well as system monitoring and supervision. The sense can range from performing a direct inspection to ensuring that rules or standards are followed.

Grammatically, kontrollera is a regular verb of the -era group. Infinitive: kontrollera; present: kontrollerar; past: kontrollerade; supine: kontrollerat. The imperative form is kontrollera. In compound tenses, the perfect is formed with har: har kontrollerat. The passive present form is kontrolleras, as in Systemet kontrolleras regelbundet (The system is checked regularly).

Etymology and usage notes: kontrollera is a standard Swedish loanword from Continental European languages, with cognates in German (kontrollieren) and French (contrôler). It coexists with related verbs such as övervaka (to supervise), granska (to examine), inspektera (to inspect) and verifiera (to verify). Kontrollerar often implies a procedural or objective check rather than exerting power to influence, though in some contexts it can also mean to regulate or govern.

Examples: Företaget kontrollerar varje steg i tillverkningsprocessen. IT-avdelningen kontrollerar användarrättigheter. Systemet kontrollerar att data är korrekta. Notera att kontroll som noun refererar till själva processen eller resultatet av en kontroll.
