inaktuellt

Inaktuellt is a Swedish adjective meaning not current or out-of-date. It is used to describe information, data, prices, policies, or other items that have lost their present validity or relevance. The term is common in media, research, libraries, and administrative contexts to indicate that something should not be treated as up-to-date.

Etymology: it is formed by adding the negating prefix in- to aktuell (current). The underlying idea is that something is not up to date anymore, whether because it has changed, been superseded, or was never updated.

Usage and examples: in digital content management, a label or note may mark pages with inaktuell to warn readers that the information is outdated. In catalogs or datasets, tags like inaktuell help librarians, researchers, and users avoid relying on stale data. In professional contexts, formally inaktuell information should be revised or archived.

Relation to other terms: while similar to föråldrad (obsolete) or gammal (old), inaktuellt emphasizes current non-validity rather than total irrelevance. A piece can be inaktuellt without being completely useless; it may still serve historical or reference purposes.

See also: aktuell, uppgift, information. Note: The exact usage can vary with dialect and discipline; in technical writing, precise dating or version control helps determine current status.
