nordvästlig

nordvästlig is a Swedish adjective meaning "northwestern". It describes a direction or location that is situated between north and west. It is derived from the words "norr" (north) and "väst" (west), with the suffix "-lig" indicating a directional or qualitative attribute. This term is commonly used in geography, meteorology, and general descriptions of locations or movements. For example, one might speak of a "nordvästlig vind" (northwestern wind) or a "nordvästlig del av landet" (northwestern part of the country). The opposite direction is sydostlig, meaning southeastern. The concept is straightforward and directly translates the combination of the two cardinal directions.
