Snabbslutande

Snabbslutande is a Swedish term used as an attributive adjective. It is formed from snabb ("fast") and slutande (the present participle of sluta, "to end"), giving a literal meaning of "ending quickly" or "rapidly terminating." The word is not widely attested in standard dictionaries and tends to appear in specialized or informal Swedish, where its exact sense can vary by context.

In general usage, snabbslutande describes processes, sequences, or events that conclude in a short time. In technical or organizational language it may refer to workflows, decision processes, or operational procedures designed to reach closure swiftly. In mechanical or engineering contexts it can describe mechanisms intended to close or finish operations rapidly, though such usage depends on the specific field’s terminology.

Because snabbslutande is not a standardized term, writers may choose to hyphenate or adapt the form (for example snabb-slutande) according to stylistic guidelines. The term is best understood through domain-specific examples rather than as a fixed, universal definition.
