uppumpat

Uppumpat is a Swedish term formed as the past participle of the verb uppumpa, meaning to pump up, inflate, or boost. In a literal sense it describes something that has been filled with air or liquid, such as a tire or a ball. It can also be used more loosely to refer to something that has been boosted or energized, for example a mood or a performance.

Grammatically, uppumpat is the neuter singular form of the participle. The participle may take different endings to agree with the noun: uppumpad (common gender singular), uppumpat (neuter singular), and uppumpade (plural). In predicative constructions it is common to see phrases like “däcket är upppumpat” or “bilen är upppumpad,” depending on the gender of the noun.

Usage notes and examples:

- Literal: Däcket är upppumpat. (The tire is pumped up.)

- Literal plural or different nouns: Bilen och däcken är upppumpade. (The car and tires are pumped up.)

- Figurative: Jag känner mig upppumpad inför matchen. (I feel pumped up/energized for the match.)

- Passive or perfect forms: Bilen har upppumpats ordentligt efter luftningsrundan. (The car has been properly pumped up after the air check.)

Uppumpat is primarily used in everyday Swedish to describe inflation or energy boosts, and it appears in both technical and colloquial contexts. Related verbs include uppumpa (to pump up) and pumpa (to pump).
