Inställd

Inställd is a Swedish adjective and past participle of the verb ställa in, meaning canceled or suspended. It describes events, services or schedules that will not occur as planned. The form changes with gender and number: inställt for neuter singular, inställd for common or feminine singular, and inställda for plural. After definite forms, the ending can shift to reflect the noun’s gender and number, for example den inställda konserten or det inställda tåget.

The term is commonly used in everyday language, media and public notices to indicate that an activity has been canceled rather than merely postponed. If a plan is moved to another date rather than canceled, phrases such as uppskjuten (postponed) or flyttad are often used instead.

Usage notes: inställd primarily carries a cancellation sense; in some contexts it can also convey that a service or operation has been halted. In headlines or brief notices, you may encounter the single word form inställt or inställda depending on the gender and number of the subject. The related verb form inställa is used to cancel something, while inställning refers to the cancellation itself or to the state of being canceled.
