sammanfattats

Sammanfattats is a Swedish verb form, the past participle used in the passive voice of sammanfatta, meaning to summarize. It denotes that something has been summarized and typically appears with a auxiliary verb to form perfect tenses, as in Texten har sammanfattats av redaktören (The text has been summarized by the editor).

In practice, sammanfattats functions as a passive participle rather than as a standalone adjective. The corresponding active participle is sammanfattad, meaning summarized or concise, used to describe something that has been prepared in a summarized form. The participle sammanfattats is commonly found in formal or written Swedish, especially in academic, editorial, or journalistic contexts, where actions are attributed to authors, editors, or researchers.

Etymology and related forms: sammanfattats is built from sammanfatta (to summarize) plus the participial suffix -ts, forming a passive participle. The noun form related to this verb is sammanfattning, meaning a summary. Other related constructions include har sammanfattats (has been summarized) and informationen har sammanfattats i punktform (The information has been summarized in bullet points).

Usage notes: sammanfattats signals a completed act of summarization performed on or by someone, rather than the act of summarizing itself. It is appropriate in reports, abstracts, evaluations, and other contexts where it is important to indicate that a text or dataset has been condensed into a shorter form.
