Återupptag

Återupptag is a Swedish noun meaning the act of resuming or recommencing an activity after a pause or interruption. It is formed from the prefix åter- (again) and the verb uppta (to take up or begin). In Swedish, the concept is often expressed with related forms such as återupptagning or återupptagande, but återupptag can appear in formal phrasing to denote a restart or continuation of ongoing work.

Usage of återupptag spans several domains. In business and administration, it may refer to the resumption of negotiations, projects, or funding after a delay. In education and research, it can denote the continuation of studies or experiments following a break. In legal and governmental contexts, återupptag can describe the restarting of proceedings or regulatory work. The term is typically used in written or formal speech, with the surrounding noun or verb forms clarifying the exact process being resumed.

Etymology and related terms: återupptag derives from åter- meaning again and uppta meaning to take up or begin. Related terms include återupptagning (the act of resuming) and återupptagande (the process of resuming). In English-language contexts, equivalents such as resumption or restart are used, but återupptag remains common in Swedish-language texts.
