regulerat

Regulerat is a Swedish word that functions as a past participle form of the verb regulera, meaning to regulate, control, or standardize. In usage, regulerat denotes that regulation has been applied to something or that something has become regulated. It can appear in perfect tenses (for example, har regulerat) and can also be used attributively as an adjective to describe a noun.

Etymology and relation: Regulerat derives from regulera, a verb borrowed into Swedish from the Latin regula via French réguler, and it is cognate with the English regulate. The term belongs to a broader family of regulatory vocabulary in Swedish, including regulering (regulation) and regulatorisk (regulatory).

Usage context: The form is common in formal, legal, economic, and administrative writing to indicate actions taken by authorities or market actors to bring conditions into compliance with rules. It is part of discussions about price controls, environmental standards, licensing regimes, and other regulatory frameworks. Depending on style and period, some texts may prefer other participle forms such as reglerat or reglerat, but regulerat remains recognizable in standard Swedish.
