grundligt

Grundligt is a Swedish adverb meaning thoroughly, completely, or meticulously. It describes the manner in which an action is performed and conveys that something was done with care and sufficient detail. The adverb is typically used with verbs, as in "granska grundligt" (to examine thoroughly) or "förbereda sig grundligt" (to prepare thoroughly).

It is formed from the adjective grundlig ("thorough"), which itself stems from grund ("foundation, basis") with the suffix -lig. The adverb grundligt is created by adding the suffix -t to grundlig, following standard Swedish word formation for adverbs derived from -lig adjectives.

Grundligt is common in formal writing, academic contexts, journalism, and in everyday speech when precision and depth are emphasized. It is closely related to synonyms such as noggrant and ingående, but carries a broader sense of comprehensive thoroughness rather than just careful precision.

Examples: "Rapporten granskades grundligt." "Förarens kontroller genomfördes grundligt." In English: "The report was examined thoroughly." "The checks were conducted thoroughly."
