tilldelat

Tilldelat is a Swedish term functioning as the past participle and adjective of the verb tilldela, meaning to allocate or assign. As an adjective, it describes something that has been designated or granted to someone or something, such as resources, responsibilities, or tasks. The neuter form tilldelat is used with neuter nouns, while tilldelad is used with common-gender nouns and tilldelade with plural nouns.

Etymology: The word is formed from till- and dela, with till meaning to or toward and dela meaning to share or distribute. The concept is to designate a share for a specific recipient. The past participle has the forms tilldelad (common gender), tilldelat (neuter), and tilldelade (plural).

Usage: Tilldelat is common in administrative, financial, and legal language. It appears in contexts such as budgets, grants, and duties. For example: “Det tilldelade beloppet uppgår till 2 miljoner kronor.” or “Hon har tilldelats ansvaret för projektet.” In passive constructions, the form har tilldelats is standard for “has been allocated.” The related noun is tilldelning, referring to the act or result of allocation.

Notes: Tilldelat emphasizes that allocation has been decided or granted by an authority, rather than merely shared or distributed. It is widely used in formal Swedish and appears across governmental, organizational, and corporate communications.
