tilldelades

Tilldelades is a Swedish verb form used as the past passive of tilldela, which means to allocate, assign, grant or award something to someone. In the passive voice, the emphasis is on the recipient rather than the actor, and the agent is often left implicit or indicated with av (by). The form signals that the action was completed in the past.

Usage and nuances:

Tilldelades is common in formal, official, or journalistic language when stating that an award, grant, prize, or permission has been conferred. It is often used in contexts such as prizes, stipends, titles, or responsibilities.
