sammanförd

Sammanförd is a Swedish adjective and past participle meaning brought together, merged, or consolidated. It is formed from samman-, meaning together, and föra, meaning to bring or carry. The term is used to describe something that has been combined from several parts, such as data, entities, or organizations.

In usage, sammanförd appears in formal and administrative contexts to indicate that separate elements have been merged into a single whole. The participle can function attributively, for example: en sammanförd uppgift, de sammanförda uppgifterna, or ett sammanfört dokument, depending on gender and number. The related verb is sammanföra, whose past tense is sammanförde.

Common contexts for the term include municipal reforms, corporate mergers, and data integration. For instance, you might encounter uttryck like sammanförda kommuner (merged municipalities) or sammanförda databaser (consolidated databases). In official or technical Swedish, sammanförd is often used to convey that components have been combined in a deliberate, organized manner. It is generally neutral in tone and may be contrasted with synonyms such as sammanslagen (merged), integrerad (integrated), or sammanlänkad (linked), each with slightly different nuances.
