avslåavvisa

Avslåavvisa is not a standard single word in Swedish; it refers to two closely related verbs, avslå and avvisa, both meaning to reject or deny, but used in different contexts. In everyday and administrative language, avslå is primarily used for decisions on requests, applications, proposals or grants, indicating the outcome is a denial. The noun form is avslag, and related adjectives include avslagen.

Avvisa is used when someone or something is turned away or dismissed, often in contexts involving people, travel, or formal filings. It also appears in legal and administrative phrases to indicate dismissal or rejection of a procedural action, such as avvisa talan (dismiss a claim) in court. The noun forms are avvisning or, in border or immigration contexts, avvisning is commonly used for a refused entry or repatriation.

Usage notes and examples illustrate the distinction. For example, a municipality may avslå en ansökan om bygglov (deny an application for a building permit). A border control authority may avvisa en person at the border (turn away a person). In legal procedure, a court may avvisa talan (dismiss the case) if it is deemed inadmissible, while a decision to reject a grant or subsidy would typically be described as ett avslag.

Etymologically and semantically, avslå emphasizes the outcome of a decision on a proposal or request, whereas avvisa emphasizes the act of turning away or discarding a filing or person. The terms are often contrasted as: avslå for applications or proposals, avvisa for border, entry, or procedural dismissal. If encountered as a single form, it is likely a shorthand or typographical fusion rather than an official term.
