planerat

Planerat is the past participle and past tense form of the Swedish verb planera, meaning to plan or organize something in advance. It is used with auxiliary verbs to form perfect and pluperfect tenses, for example: Vi har planerat resan. Vi hade planerat allt i detalj.

In ordinary speech, planerat describes actions that have already been prepared or scheduled. It commonly appears in contexts such as project planning, event organization, or logistics. The corresponding simple past form is planerade (e.g., Vi planerade resan igår), while planerat is used in compound tenses (har planerat, hade planerat) and in phrases like det var planerat att mötas klockan åtta.

Etymology and form: planerat is formed from the noun plan, which denotes a scheme or arrangement, with the verb suffix -era. The root plan is shared with related European languages and reflects the same concept of preparing or arranging in advance. Planera itself is a regular -era verb in Swedish.

Usage notes: Planerat typically appears in contexts where the focus is on the completed preparation or scheduling of something. It should not be confused with planerar (present tense, they plan) or planerade (simple past). It can be combined with prepositions or clauses to indicate purpose or timing, such as att mötas eller att genomföra något som varit planerat.

Related terms include planering (planning), planerare (planner), and plan (the plan).
