Koniskt

Koniskt is a Swedish adjective meaning cone-shaped or conical. It is used to describe objects, figures, or surfaces that resemble a cone, such as a konisk hatt (conical hat) or a konisk yta (conical surface). In mathematical and geometric contexts, koniskt refers to properties related to cones and to conic sections.

Morphology and usage: The base form konisk is used with common-gender singular nouns (en konisk form). The neuter singular form is koniskt (ett koniskt föremål). In plural and when not specifying gender, the form koniska is typically used (koniska former, koniska ytor). In definite constructions one can encounter phrases like det koniska föremålet or den koniska formen.

Geometric and mathematical context: In geometry, the term appears in relation to conic shapes and sections. Koniska avsnitt (conic sections) include shapes such as circles, ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas, which arise from intersecting a plane with a cone. Konisk is also used to describe surfaces and solids that are generated by a cone, for example konisk övergångsstycke relates to tapering, cone-like transitions, in certain engineering or design texts.

Relation to other terms: Koniskt is closely linked to denotation of cones and conic sections. Related Swedish terms include kon (cone), konisk yta (conical surface), and koniska snitt or koniska avsnitt (conic sections). The adjective forms reflect standard Swedish agreement patterns for gender and number.
