Svåranvänd

Svåranvänd is a Swedish adjective that translates to "difficult to use" or "unwieldy" in English. It describes something that presents challenges in its operation, manipulation, or understanding. This can apply to a wide range of objects, systems, or concepts.

The term often implies that an object or system requires a significant amount of effort, skill, or training to operate effectively. For instance, a complex piece of machinery with a convoluted interface might be described as svåranvänd. Similarly, a software program with an illogical design or a lack of clear instructions could also be considered svåranvänd. The difficulty can stem from poor design, a steep learning curve, or a lack of intuitive functionality.

In a broader sense, svåranvänd can also refer to abstract concepts or situations that are hard to grasp or manage. For example, a complicated bureaucratic process or a poorly explained theory might be characterized as svåranvänd. The core idea is the presence of obstacles that impede smooth or efficient interaction. The opposite of svåranvänd would be something that is "lättanvänd" or easy to use.
