utökad

Utökad is a Swedish adjective meaning expanded, extended, or enlarged. It is the past participle form of the verb utöka, to increase or extend, and is used to describe a state in which something has been enlarged in scope, range, capacity, or duration compared with an earlier version. In grammar, utökad agrees with the noun it modifies (singular: utökad; plural: utökade; with appropriate inflection in definite forms).

Common contexts for the term include media editions, technology products, and services. Examples are an utökad version of a film, an utökad upplaga of a book, or utökad funktionalitet in software. It can also refer to broader coverage or capacity, such as utökad täckning in a network or utökad geografisk räckvidd in a service area. The term often signals practical improvements that add new content, features, or reach beyond what existed previously.

Etymology and usage notes: utökad is formed from the prefix ut-, meaning outward or beyond, combined with öka, to increase. The adjective serves to emphasize the expansion of scope rather than merely the duration. Related terms include utöka (to increase), utvidgad (a similar but somewhat broader synonym), and förlängd (emphasizing length or duration). The noun form utökning refers to the act or result of expansion.
