Bedrägliga

Bedrägliga is a Swedish word that translates to "deceptive" or "misleading" in English. It is used to describe something that is not what it appears to be, and which is intended to trick or fool someone. This can apply to a wide range of situations, from misleading advertising to dishonest personal behavior.

For example, a product that is advertised with exaggerated claims or images could be described as bedräglig. Similarly, a person who tells lies or manipulates others for their own gain is acting in a bedräglig manner. The word carries a negative connotation, implying a deliberate intent to deceive.

In a legal context, bedräglig can be used to describe actions that constitute fraud. This might involve intentionally misrepresenting facts to gain an unfair advantage or to cause financial loss to another party. The core idea behind the word is a lack of honesty and transparency, leading to a false impression.
