såld

Såld is a Swedish word meaning "sold." It is the past participle of sälja (to sell) and is used both as a verb form and as an adjective. In verbal contexts it appears in perfect tenses such as har sålt (has sold) and hade sålt (had sold).

As an adjective, såld describes items that have already been sold or are no longer available. It agrees with the noun in number and definiteness: en såld bil (a sold car), flera sålda bilar (several sold cars), den sålda bilen (the sold car). In everyday usage the form may precede the noun or follow a definite determiner.

A related term is slutsåld, meaning sold out.

Etymology and related forms: såld derives from the verb sälja. The past participle form sålt is used in compound verb constructions (har sålt). In Scandinavian languages, cognates exist with different spellings, such as Danish solgt and Norwegian solgt, reflecting a common Germanic root.

See also: sold/solgt in other languages, and the compound slutsåld for “sold out.”

Overall, såld is a versatile term in Swedish, used to mark that a product or asset has been transacted and is no longer available, while still functioning grammatically as an adjective when describing nouns.
