laddas

Laddas is a Swedish word that functions as the present passive form of the verb ladda, meaning to load or to charge. It is used to indicate that energy or data is being transferred into a target object. Common contexts include electronic devices, batteries, and data transfer.

In practice, laddas appears in sentences describing ongoing charging or loading processes. Examples include batteriet laddas (the battery is charging) and filen laddas upp (the file is being uploaded). The form is typically used with inanimate objects and emphasises that the subject is receiving the action rather than performing it.

Grammatical notes: Laddas is the present passive form of ladda and is widely used in everyday Swedish to describe ongoing, passive actions. The corresponding active present form is laddar (the subject performs the action of charging or loading). The word can appear in a range of related phrases, such as ladda underläsning for data loading or laddning for the process of charging.
