överförts

Överförts is the past participle of the Swedish verb överföra, meaning to transfer, convey, or transmit. It is used to express that something has been moved or transmitted and is typically found in passive constructions with auxiliary verbs such as har, hade, or blev. In practice, you will often see phrases like har överförts (has been transferred) or blev överförts (was transferred).

The verb överföra combines the prefix över- meaning across or beyond with föra, to bring or carry. The term covers a range of meanings, including moving goods from one location to another, transferring money or data, relaying information, or transmitting signals or diseases in certain contexts. As a past participle, överförts functions as part of a compound tense to indicate a completed transfer.

Common contexts for överförts include information technology and data handling (filerna har överförts till mottagaren), finance (medlen har överförts till kontot), logistics (varor har överförts mellan platser), and healthcare or administration (patienten har överförts till en annan vårdnivå). In academic or professional writing, the term may also describe the transfer of knowledge, rights, or ownership. The usage is largely neutral and descriptive, suitable for reporting on processes and outcomes.

Related terms include överföring (the act of transferring), överförbar (transferable), and övertföring (less common variant forms in certain boreal or legal kontext). Överförts does not carry a positive or negative judgment by itself; its connotation depends on what is being transferred and the surrounding context.
