Annullera

Annullera is a Swedish verb meaning to cancel, revoke, or nullify something that has been agreed or arranged. The action can apply to contracts, orders, tickets, reservations, decisions, or documents, and it generally means that the original act loses its validity or enforceability. In everyday language, annullera is used for broad cancellations, while more specific terms like avboka (to cancel a booking) or upphäva (to repeal or suspend) may be preferred in certain contexts.

In legal and administrative contexts, annullera describes voiding or invalidating an act or agreement. It is often used when a decision is withdrawn or declared not legally binding. The noun form is annullering, referring to the act of cancelling or the result of the cancellation.

Etymology and forms: annullera comes from Latin annullare, through Romance-language derivatives such as French annuler. The term has been part of Swedish since the early modern period and carries a formal nuance appropriate for official or contractual language.

Conjugation and usage: infinitive annullera; present annullerar; past annullerade; supine annullerat. The past participle is annullerad when used adjectivally (eg, ett annullerat kontrakt).

Examples: A government decision may annullera ett beslut, or a company may annullera en beställning. If a travel booking is cancelled due to weather, the reservation can be annullerad or annullerad i efterhand, depending on context.
