Claimed Meaning in English
word · lemma: claim
التعريف
Past tense of 'claim'. It means said that something was true, often without proof, or asked for something officially because you believe it belongs to you or you have a right to it.
الاستخدام والفروق الدقيقة
Common in news and formal writing: 'The company claimed...'. It can sound neutral or slightly doubtful because the statement may not be proven. Also used in legal, insurance, and lost-property contexts: 'claimed the prize', 'claimed compensation', 'claimed his bag'. Don't confuse it with 'said'—'claimed' often suggests uncertainty or a stronger assertion.
