nyinköpta

Nyinköpta is a Swedish adjective meaning “newly bought” or “recently purchased.” It is used to describe objects that have just been bought and are new to the owner or to the situation being described.

Origin and form: The word is formed from ny meaning “new” and inköpt, the past participle of inköpa meaning “to purchase.” As an attributive adjective, it inflects for number and definiteness. The form nyinköpta is used for plural nouns in indefinite form, and also for singular nouns in definite phrases, for example nyinköpta böcker (newly bought books) and den nyinköpta bilen (the newly bought car). The corresponding singular indefinite form is nyinköpt (en nyinköpt bok).

Usage: Nyinköpta is commonly used for goods recently acquired, such as clothes, furniture, electronics, or books. It emphasizes the purchase event and the fact that the item is new to the purchaser, rather than its age as a product. It can be contrasted with begagnad (“used”) or helt ny (“brand new”) in nuance. The phrase appears in everyday language, shopping contexts, and descriptive passages.
