uppdelat

Uppdelat is a Swedish adjective and past participle derived from the verb uppdela, meaning to divide up or partition. When something is uppdelat, it has been divided into parts, sections, or categories. The term is commonly used in official, administrative, and data contexts, such as a budget uppdelat into costs and revenue, a map uppdelat into regions, or survey results uppdelat by age group. It can also describe time or processes that have been broken down into steps.

Etymology and grammar: Uppdelat derives from uppdela with the past participle ending. As an adjective it inflects for gender and number: uppdelad (en-ord, singular), uppdelat (ett-ord, singular), and uppdelade (plural). In predicative constructions one can say, for example, "Schemaet är uppdelat i fyra delar" or "Resultatet är uppdelat mellan fyra kategorier." The noun form is uppdelning, meaning “division” or “distribution.” The related verb uppdela is used for actions of partitioning or segmenting.

Contexts and usage: Uppdelat is widely used to describe how something is organized or distributed. Common contexts include statistics, budgets, data sets, geographic or administrative divisions, and project planning. It often appears in descriptions of how information is structured, for instance: a dataset uppdelat by region or a plan uppdelat into milestones. The term conveys a sense of deliberate segmentation rather than random aggregation.
