**återvänder**

Återvänder is a Swedish verb meaning "to return" or "to come back." It is derived from the compound words *åter* (back/again) and *vända* (to turn or return). The term is commonly used in both formal and informal contexts to describe the action of returning to a previous location, state, or situation.

In everyday language, *återvänder* often refers to returning home, returning to a familiar place, or completing a journey. It can also be used metaphorically to describe returning to a previous condition, such as returning to health or returning to a previous job. For example, someone might say *Jag återvänder till min gamla arbetsplats* ("I am returning to my old workplace").

In a legal or administrative context, *återvänder* might be used to describe the process of returning items, such as returning a rental car or returning a borrowed book. The verb can also be conjugated in various tenses, including present (*återvänder*), past (*återvände*), and future (*återvänder*). The past participle form, *återvänt*, is often used in compound verbs like *återvända* (to return something) or *återvända sig* (to turn back).

The term is part of the Swedish language’s rich vocabulary for describing motion and change, reflecting its nuanced expressions of movement and return.
