uppstälda

Uppställda is a Swedish adjective formed from the verb uppställa, used as the past participle and as an attributive descriptor. It denotes that something has been placed, arranged, or erected, and can also indicate that a person or item has been nominated or proposed for a particular role or consideration.

In everyday language, uppställda describes objects that have been arranged or lined up. Examples include uppställda stolar (chairs that have been set up), uppställda tecken (signs that have been placed), or uppställda gåtor i ett spel. The term emphasizes a deliberate placement or configuration rather than a mere occurrence.

In political and organizational contexts, uppställda can mean that someone has been formally nominated or proposed by a party, committee, or group. A candidate uppställd av partiet is one who has been put forward for election or a position. This usage highlights the formal or official aspect of the placement, rather than a physical arrangement.

Grammar and usage notes:

- Uppställda agrees in number with the noun it describes (singular: uppställd; plural: uppställda).

- It is used both in descriptive, non-technical language and in more formal or administrative texts.

- The word can appear in different grammatical constructions, including phrases like “uppställd som kandidat” or “uppställda i raden.”

Etymology:

The term derives from upp- (up) and ställa (to place or set), combining to convey the sense of placing something in position or presenting someone for a role. Related nouns include uppställning (the act of placing in a line or display) and uppställningsorden (order of placement in a lineup).
