villkorat

Villkorat is a Swedish adjective formed from the verb villkora, meaning to condition or stipulate. As a past participle, villkorat indicates that something is conditioned or subject to conditions. In legal and contractual language the term is used to describe arrangements, offers, or approvals that depend on meeting specified terms or requirements.

Usage and context: Villkorat is commonly found in contracts, bids, permits, or financial instruments to signal that an agreement or decision is contingent on meeting certain criteria. Examples include a villkorat lån (a loan that is conditional on meeting specified conditions) or a villkorat erbjudande (an offer that is conditional). The term can modify a noun to emphasize the conditional status of the item, as in “ett villkorat avtal” or “ett villkorat beviljande.” The concept also appears in regulatory or administrative texts to denote approvals or licenses granted only if conditions are fulfilled.

Etymology and related terms: Villkorat derives from villkora, with the noun villkor meaning condition or term. Related terms include villkor (condition) and the related adjective or verb forms villkorad or villkora, used in different syntactic contexts. In practice, villkorat tends to appear in formal, written Swedish, especially within legal, financial, or administrative discourse, while more colloquial expressions may use simpler or paraphrased forms to express conditional status.

Notes: The term should not be confused with casual uses of “villkor” referring merely to a condition; villkorat specifically conveys that something is conditioned upon fulfilling specified requirements.
