rapporterat

Rapporterat is the past participle form of the Swedish verb rapportera (to report). It denotes that something has been reported or that a report has been filed. Grammatically, rapporterat is the neuter singular past participle; it is used in tenses formed with auxiliary verbs (har rapporterat, hade rapporterat) and in nonfinite constructions referring to a reported item. When used attributively before a noun, the participle inflects for gender and number: ett rapporterat fel (a reported error); en rapporterad händelse (a reported event); rapporterade fall (reported cases).

In general Swedish usage, rapporterat can also appear in headlines or telegraphic style to convey concisely that something has been reported, as in "Rapporterat fall ökar" or "Rapporterat fel i systemet." In sentences with passive voice, forms like "Det har rapporterats om problemen" mean "there have been reports of the problems." The word is commonly found in journalism, statistics, public administration, and legal or safety reporting.

Etymology: rapportera is a loanword derived from French rapporter, which itself comes from Latin reportare, meaning to bring back or recount. The past participle form rapporterat follows the regular pattern for Swedish -era verbs, using the -erat suffix.
