tillhörigt

Tillhörigt is a Swedish adjective form derived from the verb tillhöra, meaning to belong or to be part of something. The term is used to describe something that belongs to, is part of, or is connected with another entity such as a region, organization, property, or jurisdiction. The related noun tillhörighet covers concepts like affiliation, membership, or belonging. A more common everyday alternative is tillhörig or tillhörande, but tillhörigt appears in formal, administrative, or legal texts.

Grammatical note: tillhörigt is the neuter singular form of the adjective, used before neuter nouns in indefinite constructions (ett tillhörigt område) or in definite phrases (det tillhöriga området). Swedish adjectives inflect for number and definiteness, and tillhörigt follows these patterns alongside its other forms.

Usage and contexts: Tillhörigt is typically found in official documents, cadastral descriptions, municipal or regional regulations, and other formal language where it specifies belonging or affiliation to a larger entity. It can describe areas, properties, or administrative units that are part of a larger ownership, jurisdiction, or governance.

Examples:

- Ett tillhörigt område ligger under kommunens tillsyn.

- Det tillhöriga området omfattas av nya regler.

Related terms include tillhörighet (affiliation, membership), tillhöra (to belong), and tillhörande (belonging or associated). While tillhörigt can be appropriate in precise or legal contexts, everyday Swedish more commonly uses tillhörig or tillhörande.
