flerdubblar

Flerdubblar is a Swedish verb in the present tense that means to multiply several times or to more-than-double. It is formed from the elements fler meaning “more” and dubbel meaning “double,” with the standard -ar verb ending. The term is typically used to describe growth or increase that exceeds a simple twofold rise.

Semantically, fler dubblar conveys a notable and rapid expansion in quantitative measures such as revenue, profits, population, or data values within a defined period. It is commonly encountered in business journalism, market analysis, and corporate reporting, where writers want to emphasize substantial growth. Because flerdubblar is a relatively modern or informal neologism, its acceptability and exact usage can vary by region, audience, and context, and it may not appear in all dictionaries.

In practice, flerdubblar is usually paired with a timeframe to indicate the scope of growth, for example over five years or within a certain fiscal year. The phrase suggests a larger multiplier than a simple doubling, but it does not specify a precise factor. Related expressions include flerfaldig (severalfold), trefaldig (threefold), and firedubbel (fourfold), which are used to express more exact multiples or stronger degrees of growth.
