uppställt

Uppställt is a Swedish adjective formed from the verb uppställa, meaning to set up, place upright, or establish. It describes a state in which something has been arranged, prepared, or displayed for a purpose. The term is used for both tangible objects and abstract ideas, such as requirements or proposals. The basic sense covers being physically positioned or presented, for example a gallery display where pictures are uppställda, or a room with chairs uppställda in a circle. It can also refer to a lineup or arrangement in sport or politics, for instance a team's laguppställning or a candidate who has blivit uppställd som kandidat.

Etymology: uppställa comes from upp- (up, upwards) and ställa (to place, set). The past participle form can take different inflections depending on the noun it modifies (uppställd, uppställt, uppställda), but the core meaning remains "set up" or "placed in position."

Usage notes: In everyday Swedish, uppställd is common in descriptions of exhibitions, displays, or organized arrangements. In political or organizational language, uppställd can imply that someone has been put forward or nominated, as in uppställd som kandidat.

Related terms: uppställning (the act or result of setting up, arrangement; a lineup), uppställdhet (the quality of being set up; less common). See also expressions like ställa krav and descriptions of scout-like or display arrangements.
