studdade

Studdade is a term used in Scandinavian languages, primarily Swedish and Norwegian, to describe items that are adorned with metal studs or rivets. It is the past participle form of the verb stud in these languages and functions as an adjective, indicating that an object has been decorated or reinforced with studs.

In fashion and accessories, studded items are described as studdade, such as studdade stövlar (studded boots), studdade armband (studded bracelets), or studdade bälten (studded belts). The term signals a decorative or edgy aesthetic, and can also imply added durability in some contexts. In automotive usage, studdade däck refers to tires equipped with metal studs for improved traction on icy surfaces.

English-language contexts typically translate studdade as studded. The term is most common in catalogs, fashion magazines, and regional writing from Sweden and Norway. It may appear alongside related terms for hardware and decoration, such as rivets or spikes, and in discussions of safety or road-use regulations related to studded tires, which are subject to seasonal rules in various jurisdictions.

Notes: the precise meaning of studdade can vary with context and language, and in multilingual texts it is important to distinguish whether it describes fashion adornment, hardware reinforcement, or tire technology. Related English terms include studded and studding in jewelry, leatherwork, and footwear.
