langtsiktig

Langtsiktig is not a standard Swedish word. The common spelling is långsiktig, meaning long-term or long-range, used to describe decisions, plans, or outlooks that consider effects over an extended period.

Etymology: It derives from lång ('long') and siktig (from sikt, sight/aim). The compound conveys a horizon extending into the future and is widely used in Swedish language contexts about time horizons.

Usage: In finance and business, långsiktig often appears in phrases such as långsiktiga investeringar (long-term investments), långsiktiga mål (long-term goals), and långsiktig value creation. In policy, it appears in terms like långsiktig hållbarhet (long-term sustainability) and climate policy.

Spelling note: Langtsiktig is typically viewed as a misspelling or nonstandard variant; Swedish orthography uses långsiktig with the vowel å. In Norwegian and Danish alike, the corresponding form langsiktig exists, but Swedish standard favors å. In formal writing, use långsiktig.
