prövats

Prövats is a Swedish grammatical form, specifically the past passive participle of the verb pröva, meaning to test or try. It is used to indicate that an object, process, or result has undergone testing or examination. In typical usage, prövats appears in passive constructions and is common in formal, technical, or regulatory writing.

Etymology and form: the participle is built from the verb pröva with the suffix -ts, marking a past passive participle. In sentences, it functions to describe the subject as having been tested, usually in combination with auxiliary verbs to form perfect or passive tenses.

Usage: prövats is frequently found with auxiliary verbs such as har to form the present perfect passive, for example, Resultatet har prövats av oberoende laboratorier. It can also describe a noun in a tested state, as in contexts referring to procedures, methods, or products that have undergone testing. The form is more common in written and formal Swedish than in informal speech.

Grammatical notes: as a participle, prövats serves an adjectival or verbal role, indicating a completed testing action applied to the subject. It does not function as a standalone finite verb.
