Avrunda

Avrunda is a Swedish verb meaning to round off a numerical value or measurement to a specified degree of precision. It is used in mathematics, finance, science, and everyday language to indicate adjusting an exact figure to a nearby, simpler value.

The infinitive form is avrunda, with present tense avrundar, past tense avrundade, and supine/perfect participle avrundat. The verb is commonly employed with phrases such as avrunda till närmaste heltal (round to the nearest integer) or avrunda till två decimaler (round to two decimal places). The noun form avrundning refers to the act or process of rounding, and avrundad is an adjective meaning rounded.

In practice, avrunda appears in both spoken and written Swedish and is widely used in educational contexts, accounting, and everyday calculations. In spreadsheet software that uses Swedish localization, the equivalent function is AVRUNDA, which performs numerical rounding in formulas and data analysis.

Notes and usage considerations: avrunda implies choosing a value that is closest to the original figure within a defined precision, and it is distinct from other numerical adjustments such as truncating or flooring. The term is commonly paired with specific instructions on the desired precision, for example, "avrunda till två decimaler" or "avrunda till närmaste hundradel."
