stoppats

Stoppats is a Swedish form derived from the verb stoppa, and it functions as the supine (past participle) used in passive and perfect constructions. The meaning of stoppats is determined by sense of stoppa in the sentence: it can indicate that something has been stopped or that something has been stuffed or padded.

In grammar, stoppats appears in phrases built with the auxiliary ha or vara, forming perfect or passive tenses. For example, the phrase har stoppats translates to “has been stopped.” In contexts where stoppa means to stuff or pad, stoppats can convey that an object has been stuffed or filled, though this usage is more tied to the specific sense of the verb in the sentence.

Common contexts and interpretations include:

- Mechanical, procedural, or policy contexts where a process, movement, or action has been halted: farten har stoppats (the traffic has been stopped).

- Textile, upholstery, or craft contexts where an object has been filled with padding or stuffing: en stoppad docka (a stuffed doll) or saker som stoppats (items that have been stuffed), with stoppats serving as the passive participle form in compound tenses.

Stoppats is primarily a linguistic item used to illustrate Swedish verb conjugation and the passive voice. Its exact English translation—“has been stopped” or “has been stuffed”—depends on the specific meaning of stoppa in the surrounding text.
