konfliktigt

Konfliktigt is an adjective in Swedish that describes something characterized by conflict or prone to conflict. The term can refer to people, groups, or environments where disagreement and confrontation are likely, persistent, or ongoing. It derives from the noun konflikt (conflict) plus the adjectival suffix -igt, a productive Swedish formation that yields qualities or states.

In usage, konfliktigt tends to appear in more formal or literary contexts. In everyday speech, speakers more often use konfliktfylld ("conflict-filled") or konfliktbenägen ("prone to conflict"). The form konfliktigt may be found in discussions of political climates, international relations, or organizational dynamics, where the emphasis is on the presence of recurring conflict rather than on specific incidents.

Examples of usage include phrases such as ett konfliktigt läge in the region (a conflict-prone situation) or ett konfliktigt arbetsklimat (a conflict-ridden work climate). The modifier is generally applied to nouns referring to situations, environments, or social relations.

Related terms include konflikt (conflict), konfliktfylld (conflict-filled), and konfliktbenägen (prone to conflict). In English, closest equivalents are "conflict-prone" or "conflict-ridden."
