täckt

Täckt is a Swedish word that functions as the past participle of the verb täcka, meaning to cover. It is used both as a verb form in passive constructions and as an adjective describing something that has been covered. In predicative use, täckt indicates the state of being covered, as in taket är täckt av snö, meaning the roof is covered with snow. When used attributively, it agrees with the noun in number and definiteness, following standard Swedish adjective inflection.

The term is versatile and can describe coverings of various materials or substances, such as snow, paint, vegetation, or fabric that forms a layer over another surface. It appears in everyday speech as well as in technical and descriptive contexts, for example in phrases like täckta ytor (covered surfaces) or täckt innehåll (covered content), depending on the surrounding words and tense.

Etymology and related forms: Täckt comes from the verb täcka, meaning to cover. The concept of being covered has parallel forms in other North Germanic languages, where cognates exist, such as Danish dækket and Norwegian dekket or dekt, reflecting a common linguistic heritage for the idea of a covered surface or object.
