Ufordøjelige

Ufordøjelige is a Danish adjective that translates to "indigestible" or "unsustainable" in English. It is often used in contexts related to food, referring to something that is difficult to digest physically. This can be due to the texture, composition, or preparation of the food itself. For example, a very fatty or fibrous meal might be described as ufordøjelig.

Beyond its literal meaning concerning digestion, ufordøjelige can also be used metaphorically. In this sense, it describes something that is difficult to accept, process, or endure mentally or emotionally. This could apply to unpleasant news, a challenging situation, or a concept that is hard to grasp or come to terms with. For instance, a person might find a particular political policy or a tragic event "ufordøjelig" if it causes them significant distress or is seen as fundamentally wrong. The term implies a sense of being overwhelmed or unable to cope with something due to its inherent difficulty or offensiveness.
