spenderat

Spenderat is the past participle form of the Swedish verb spendera, meaning "to spend." It is used to form perfect tenses in combination with auxiliary verbs such as har (have) or hade (had). For example: Vi har spenderat pengar på nya möbler. Hon hade spenderat mycket tid på uppgiften. In these constructions spenderat functions as the past participle of spendera, not as a standalone lexical item.

Grammatical notes: Spenderat agrees in number with the subject only through the auxiliary verb; the participle itself does not change for gender. It is typically not used independently as a noun. In Swedish writing, spenderat appears only as part of a verb phrase, and its meaning is context-specific ("spent").

Usage: The form is common in both spoken and written Swedish when describing resources such as money or time that have been expended. It may appear in formal reports, journalism, or everyday speech.

Etymology: Spenderat is derived from the verb spendera; the form is the standard past participle in Swedish and does not constitute a separate lexical item with a distinct meaning beyond its role in verb phrases.
