glasbitar

Glasbitar is a Swedish term that translates to "pieces of glass" or "shards of glass." It generally refers to fragments of broken glass. This can encompass a wide range of situations, from accidental breakage in a household setting to the remnants of larger glass structures. The term is often used in contexts where safety is a concern, as broken glass can be sharp and dangerous.

When glass breaks, it typically fractures into irregular shapes of varying sizes. The sharpness of these glasbitar depends on the type of glass and the nature of the breakage. For example, tempered glass shatters into small, relatively blunt pieces, while standard annealed glass breaks into sharp, jagged fragments. Cleanup of glasbitar is therefore an important consideration, often requiring careful sweeping, vacuuming, and sometimes specialized tools to ensure all pieces are removed.

In a broader sense, "glasbitar" can also be used metaphorically to describe fragmented or broken things, though its literal meaning related to physical glass is most common. The cleanup and disposal of glasbitar are common tasks after accidents or construction work involving glass.
