tidsbestämda

Tidsbestämda is a Swedish adjectival form used to describe something that is determined by time or fixed to a specific time, date, or time window. The word is the plural form of tidsbestämd (feminine) or tidsbestämt (neuter), and it is formed from tids- (time) and bestämma (to determine). In practice, tidsbestämda refers to events, tasks, or conditions that are scheduled or set to occur at a definite point in time.

The term is commonly used in planning, administration, and project management. It can describe deadlines, booked appointments, or any requirement tied to a precise moment. For example, a project plan might list tidsbestämda milstolpar (time-bound milestones) or a schedule may include tidsbestämda möten (time-specific meetings). In documentation and data handling, tidsbestämda can indicate information that is associated with a particular time, such as tidsbestämda uppgifter or tidsbestämda villkor.

Nuance and related terms: tidsbestämd mainly emphasizes that the time is fixed or predetermined, whereas tidsbegränsad emphasizes a limited duration or a period after which something ends. The two concepts can overlap, but they highlight different aspects of timing.
