Vformerad

Vformerad is a Swedish adjective meaning “V-shaped” or “in the form of a V.” The standard Swedish spelling is V-formad, with a hyphen in many cases (V-formad or V-formad). The form combines the letter V with formad, the past participle of forma, to indicate a shape that resembles the letter V.

The term is used to describe objects, patterns, or formations whose silhouette consists of two straight sides meeting at a sharp angle, forming a V. It is applied across disciplines whenever a V-shaped form is relevant, spanning areas such as geography, architecture, design, and biology.

In geography and geology, V-formade landforms describe valleys or cross-sections carved in a way that produces a V profile, often associated with youthful river valleys or certain ridges. In architecture and design, V-shaped rooflines, façade elements, or structural profiles yield a V-form design. In biology or botany, V-shaped arrangements of leaves, petals, or anatomical features may be described as V-formad when their motif resembles the letter V.

See also terms include the English “V-shaped” and “V-formation,” and the Swedish equivalents V-formad/V-formade, used to discuss similar motifs in different contexts. The concept is primarily descriptive, focusing on silhouette and geometry rather than function.
