Plutlig

Plutlig is a Swedish word that translates to "sudden" or "abrupt" in English. It is used to describe an event or change that happens quickly and unexpectedly, without prior warning. For example, one might say "det hände plötsligt" which means "it happened suddenly." The word can be applied to a wide range of situations, from natural phenomena like a sudden storm to personal experiences such as a sudden realization or a sudden departure.

The usage of plutlig emphasizes the lack of anticipation and the rapid onset of the event. It suggests a disruption of a previous state or pattern. In literature and everyday conversation, plutlig serves to highlight the unexpected nature of occurrences. It can create a sense of surprise, urgency, or even alarm depending on the context. While direct translations like "sudden" or "abrupt" capture the core meaning, the Swedish word plutlig often carries a nuance of immediacy.
