representerar

Representerar is a Swedish verb meaning to represent, to stand for, or to depict. It can refer to acting on behalf of someone else, such as a lawyer representing a client, or to symbols, ideas, or data that stand for something.

In grammar, representerar is the present tense form used for third-person singular subjects (eg, han representerar). The verb’s common forms include representerade (past), representerat (supine/perfect participle form), and infinitive representera. The present perfect is formed with har representerat. The word is regular in its conjugation patterns and is frequently used across formal and informal registers.

Typical usages cover multiple domains. In law and politics, it describes acting for another person or group. In everyday language, it can mean to symbolize or to stand for a concept, such as a map representing a territory, or a statistic that represents a population. In mathematics or data presentation, it may describe how a model or diagram represents underlying data or relationships.

Etymology traces representera to the French répresenter (and Latin repraesentare), with Swedish adaptation through the influence of European legal and political terminology. Related forms include representant (a representative) and representation (representation). The term is widely understood in Swedish-speaking contexts and appears in legal documents, media, and education when discussing delegation, symbolism, or depiction.
