flyttar

Flyttar is a Swedish word with two main uses. It is the present tense form of the verb flytta, meaning to move or relocate. It is also the plural form of the noun flytt, which denotes a move or relocation, such as changing home or workplace.

As a verb, flyttar describes an action of changing location. Examples include “Hon flyttar till en ny lägenhet” (She moves to a new apartment) and “Vi flyttar nästa månad” (We are moving next month). The verb can be used in literal sense of physical relocation and, in a broader sense, metaphorically, as in “flytta fokus” (shift focus).

As a noun, flytt refers to the act of moving. En flytt means one move, while flyttar can indicate multiple moves when used as the plural form of the noun. Phrases such as bostadsflytt (house move) or arbetsplatsflytt (workplace move) are common. Related terms include flyttning (the process of moving) and flyttfirma (moving company).

Administrative context is often associated with moving in Sweden. When changing address, individuals typically notify the population registry (folkbokföring) and update records with Skatteverket (the Tax Agency). The change can affect personal registration, taxation, and municipal services. In practical terms, moving is supported by services such as moving companies (flyttfirma) and moving trucks (flyttbil).
