rullade

Rullade is a Swedish verb form meaning “rolled” in English. It is the simple past (preterite) form of the verb rulla, which denotes rolling or moving by turning. The verb is used for both intransitive senses (the subject moves by rolling) and transitive senses (an object is rolled by someone or something).

Common uses include describing physical motion: “Bilen rullade nedför backen” (The car rolled down the hill) or “Hon rullade tärningarna över bordet” (She rolled the dice across the table). The term also appears in contexts where something is being moved or processed in a rolling manner, such as wheels, logs, or other cylindrical objects.

In addition to its past tense, rulla has other forms relevant for different tenses and constructions. The present tense is rullar (ex: “Solen rullar över horisonten”). The supine form, used with auxiliary verbs to form perfect tenses, is rullat (ex: “har rullat” or “hade rullat”). The word can also appear in phrases with directional particles, such as rulla ut (to roll out), rulla upp (to roll up), and rulla ner (to roll down).

Rullade functions as a regular past tense form in standard Swedish grammar and is widely understood in both written and spoken language. It is closely related to the base verb rulla, from which many compound expressions and idiomatic uses are derived.
