Sammanväva

Sammanväva is a Swedish verb meaning to weave together, interweave, or braid into a single whole. It is formed from samman- meaning together and väva meaning to weave. The term is used in both literal textile contexts and in metaphorical, abstract senses.

In textiles, sammanväva describes the process of interlacing threads or materials to form fabric, patterns, or structures. The action can involve multiple colors or textures, and the result is a cohesive whole. Example: "Textilier vävs samman av olika färger och material."

In literature, discourse, and cultural contexts, sammanväva is used figuratively to describe interlacing narratives, themes, or perspectives. A novel may sammanväva historical events with fiction; a discussion may sammanväva economic, social, and ethical considerations. The term also appears in art, film, or design to indicate the integration of disparate elements.

Grammatically, sammanväva is a transitive verb. Present tense: sammanväver; past tense: sammanvävde; supine: sammanvävt. It is commonly used with direct objects such as berättelser, material, or perspektiv. Synonyms include väva ihop or sammanfoga.
