Kontrollera (Swedish)
Verb
Definition:
To check, verify, inspect, or control something. It involves examining or monitoring to ensure that something is correct, functioning well, or adheres to a standard.
Usage examples:
- Kontrollera om dörren är låst. (Check if the door is locked.)
- Kontrollera dina svar innan du lämnar in provet. (Verify your answers before submitting the test.)
Similar words:
- Verifiera – Generally means "to verify," often used in formal or official contexts to confirm accuracy or truth. Slightly narrower, focused on confirmation rather than inspection.
- Övervaka – Means "to monitor" or "supervise," implies continuous observation over a period.
Difference:
"Kontrollera" can mean both checking once or ongoing control, depending on context, while "kontroll" refers more to control or authority. "Verifiera" emphasizes formal confirmation rather than casual checking, and "övervaka" stresses ongoing monitoring.
