Utelämna

utelämna is a Swedish verb that translates to "omit," "leave out," or "skip" in English. It describes the act of intentionally or unintentionally failing to include something or someone in a process, list, or action. The verb can be used in various contexts, from everyday conversations to more formal or technical writing.

For example, one might utelämna a detail when telling a story to make it more concise. In a business context, a company might utelämna certain information from a report if it is deemed irrelevant or confidential. A student might utelämna a question on an exam if they do not know the answer, though this often results in a score of zero for that question. The passive form of the verb, "utelämnas," means "to be omitted" or "to be left out." This is commonly seen in instructions or descriptions where something is intentionally not included. For instance, a product manual might state that batteries are utelämna from the package, meaning they are not supplied with the product. The concept behind utelämna is the absence of something that might otherwise be expected to be present. It implies a deliberate choice or an oversight.
