uppsamlat

Uppsamlat is a Swedish adjective and past participle meaning collected or gathered. It is formed from the prefix upp- and the verb samla, “to collect.” The term is used to describe material, data, or evidence that has been gathered and compiled, typically in academic, journalistic, or administrative contexts.

Usage and nuance: Uppsamlat emphasizes the act of bringing together material from various sources and putting it in a consolidated form. In everyday language it competes with insamlad (collected) and sammanställd (compiled); choice of word can reflect slight differences in nuance, such as emphasis on the act of collecting versus the state of having been gathered.

Grammar and inflection: Uppsamlat is the neuter singular form used with ett-nouns (e.g., ett uppsamlat material). The adjective follows Swedish agreement rules and has other forms depending on gender and number, for example uppsamlad (common gender singular or feminine) and uppsamlade (plural). Examples include ett uppsamlat material, den uppsamlade informationen, flera uppsamlade källor.

Examples:

- Ett uppsamlat material kan fungera som underlag för studien.

- Den uppsamlade informationen redovisas i rapporten.

- Flera uppsamlade källor användes i sammanställningen.
