Påbjudna

Påbjudna is a Swedish word that translates to "required," "mandatory," or "obligatory" in English. It signifies something that is legally or officially commanded, leaving no room for discretion or choice. The term is often used in contexts related to laws, regulations, rules, or social expectations where compliance is essential.

For example, a "påbjuden" speed limit means drivers are legally required to adhere to that speed. Similarly, certain safety equipment might be "påbjuden" in specific workplaces or vehicles. The word implies a strong imperative, indicating that failure to comply can result in penalties, sanctions, or negative consequences.

The opposite of "påbjudna" would be "frivilligt" (voluntary) or "tillåtet" (permitted), which indicate actions that are optional or allowed but not required. Understanding "påbjudna" is crucial for navigating Swedish legal and social frameworks, ensuring individuals are aware of their obligations and the expectations placed upon them in various situations.
