uppkallade

Uppkallade is a Swedish term that functions as the past participle and an adjective derived from uppkalla, meaning to summon or call up. The word is commonly used to describe people who have been formally summoned or recalled by an authority, and it can serve as an attributive adjective or as a substantive noun when referring to a group, for example de uppkallade (the summoned ones).

In usage, uppkallade often appears in legal, administrative, or administrative-legal contexts. Typical expressions include uppkallade vittnen (summoned witnesses), uppkallad personal (summoned personnel), or references to individuals uppkallade for questioning, service, or examination. The term signals an official act of summoning rather than voluntary attendance.

Etymologically, uppkallade comes from uppkalla, a compound of upp- and kalla, meaning to call up or to summon. The form uppkallade is the plural or feminine/masculine past participle used in common Swedish grammar. Singular forms include uppkallad (en-ord) and uppkallat (ett-ord), with uppkallade used for plural references.

Related terms include kallelse (summons), which denotes the act or document of summoning, and kalla, the base verb meaning to call. In legal and bureaucratic texts, uppkallade may be contrasted with the general population or with those who respond voluntarily, highlighting the official nature of the summons.
