skattade

Skattade is the simple past tense form of the Swedish verb skatt a, whose infinitive is skatt a. The verb is most commonly used to mean to estimate or to assess the value of something. It appears in contexts such as valuing property, assets, risks, or prices, where an expert or a calculation yields a numerical assessment.

In modern Swedish, skatt a is primarily used in formal or technical language, including finance, accounting, real estate, statistics, and auditing. The sentence structure typically transfers the action to a subject performing the estimation, for example: “Värdet skattades till två miljoner kronor.” The past passive form “skattades” is used when the estimation is described as something that was conducted or determined by others, as in “Värdet skattades av en oberoende expert.”

Grammar and related forms: skattade is the preterite (simple past) form for all persons (jag skattade, du skattade, han/hon skattade, vi skattade, ni skattade, de skattade). The related present tense is skatt ar, and the supine form for perfect tenses is skattat. The synonym or related terms in Swedish include beräkna (to calculate), uppskatta (to estimate, to appreciate), and bedöma (to assess). The noun skatt refers to tax in Swedish, which is etymologically related but used in a different sense; the verb skatt a is more about valuation than taxation directly.

Etymology and cognates: skatt a shares roots with other Germanic languages, with cognates in languages such as German schätzen and English estimate, all linked to the idea of reckoning or valuing.
