Görligaste

Görligaste is a Swedish superlative form of the adjective görlig, used to describe something as having the quality of being movable or easily movable. The word appears primarily in linguistic discussions or historical texts, and is not common in contemporary standard Swedish. In everyday language, speakers more often use rörlig or flyttbar to express similar ideas of movability.

Etymology and formation are typical of Swedish adjectives that take the suffix -lig to form meaning “having the quality of.” The stem gör- in görlig is commonly analyzed as related to the verb göra (to do), producing an adjective that conveys potential or capability, in this case the capability of being moved. The superlative suffix -aste yields görligaste, following regular patterns for forming the highest degree of an -lig adjective. Because görlig itself is not widely used today, görligaste remains rare outside specialized contexts.

Usage and context are the main considerations for görligaste. It may appear in discussions of linguistic morphology, historical texts, or stylistic explorations of archaisms, rather than in everyday Swedish prose. When describing movement in a modern, practical sense, speakers typically choose more common terms such as rörlig or flyttbar.
