Kvarvarande

Kvarvarande is a Swedish adjective meaning remaining, left over, or those that still exist. It is formed from kvar, meaning "the rest" or "the remainder," and the participial suffix -varande, which is used to form adjectives describing a state of being. The word is typically used in formal or technical language, such as finance, law, administration, and accounting, to refer to what remains after part has been used or subtracted.

Common collocations include kvarvarande medel (remaining funds), kvarvarande skuld (outstanding debt), and kvarvarande tillgångar (remaining assets). In financial and administrative texts, kvarvarande describes amounts or items that have not yet been expended, settled, or removed.

Examples:

- Den kvarvarande skulden uppgår till 2 000 kronor.

- Efter försäljningen finns det kvarvarande medel på kontot.

Synonyms and related terms include återstående, resterande, kvarstår (verb), kvarvara (to remain), and kvarvarande (present participle). In practice, återstående or resterande may be preferred in some contexts, depending on style or register.

Notes:

Kvarvarande is primarily a formal or technical term and is commonly found in financial statements, contracts, audits, and administrative documentation. Its English equivalents are typically "remaining" or "outstanding."
