villkorade

Villkorade is a Swedish adjective meaning "conditioned" or "subject to conditions." It denotes that something is contingent on specified requirements or provisions. The term is formed from the noun villkor (condition) plus the participial suffix -ad, yielding villkorad, with villkorade as the plural form. In usage, villkorade describes rights, obligations, agreements, or payments that only take effect if certain conditions are met.

In practice, villkorade is common in legal, administrative, and financial texts. Examples include phrases like villkorade avtal (conditional agreements), villkorade lån (conditional loans), and villkorade betalningar (payments contingent on performance). The adjective can appear in various contexts, such as statements that a license, grant, or contract is villkorad by specific criteria, or that a payment is villkorad upon delivery.

The concept of contingency conveyed by villkorade is similar across Nordic languages, which employ related forms to express conditionality. The opposite concept is unconditional, which in Swedish is often rendered with the adjective villkorsfri or the adverbial phrase utan villkor, depending on context.
