beaktansvärda

Beaktansvärda is a Swedish adjective meaning noteworthy, worthy of consideration, or deserving careful attention. It is used to describe facts, reasons, consequences, or events that warrant thoughtful evaluation. The term carries a formal or scholarly tone and is common in reports, analyses, debates, and other written discourse, rather than everyday conversation. It is applicable to both positive and negative matters, depending on context.

Usage examples include beaktansvärda skäl måste övervägas innan beslut fattas (worthy of consideration reasons must be weighed before a decision is made) and beaktansvärda konsekvenser av förslaget kräver en noggrann analys (noteworthy consequences of the proposal require careful analysis). The word can be used predicatively as well as attributively: detta är beaktansvärda frågor (these are noteworthy questions) or beaktansvärda faktorer (worthy factors). For plural nouns, beaktansvärda is the natural form.

Etymology: beaktansvärda derives from beakta, meaning to regard or take into account, combined with -värd meaning worthy. The construction highlights that something merits attention. The term has roots in older Swedish and remains common in formal contexts today.

Related terms include anmärkningsvärd (noteworthy) and betydelsefull or signifikant in more technical language. Beaktansvärda is best suited for written, formal Swedish and is less typical in casual speech.
