efterfrågats

Efterfrågats is a Swedish word that translates to "demanded" or "sought after" in English. It is the past participle of the verb "efterfråga," which means to ask for, request, or demand. The word is commonly used in various contexts, from describing the market demand for a product or service to indicating that something has been looked for or inquired about.

In an economic sense, "efterfrågats" refers to the desire and ability of consumers to purchase goods or services at a certain price. High demand for a product means it is "efterfrågats" by many. Conversely, if a product is not in demand, it might be described as "inte efterfrågats." This concept is fundamental to understanding supply and demand dynamics in a market economy.

Beyond economics, "efterfrågats" can also denote that something or someone has been actively searched for or inquired about. For instance, a missing person might be "efterfrågats av polisen" (sought after by the police). Similarly, a specific piece of information or a particular skill might be "efterfrågats" in a professional setting. The context typically clarifies the specific meaning of the word.
