praktiserad

Praktiserad is a Swedish adjective formed from the verb praktisera, meaning to practise or to perform professional duties. It is used to describe someone who is actively engaged in a profession or field, that is, who works in practice rather than in theory. In contemporary Swedish, the present participle praktiserande is the most common form for ongoing activity.

In formal or registry contexts, praktiserad appears in titles or descriptions to indicate professional practice, for example en praktiserad läkare or en praktiserad jurist. The term is frequent on résumés, professional directories, and legal or medical registrations. It contrasts with praktisk (practical) and with praktik (practice) as a noun, which have different senses.

Note that praktiserad is not a direct synonym of practical (praktisk) or of practice as a noun (praktik). It specifically marks professional activity. In English, equivalent translations depend on context: practising or practiced as appropriate to tense and meaning. For instance, a referring to a doctor would be rendered as a practising physician in English, reflecting ongoing activity.

Translations into English depend on context: practised vs practising. The term is primarily used in Swedish-language professional and administrative writing to indicate active professional engagement rather than general practicality.
