odräglig

Odräglig is a Swedish adjective that describes someone or something as extremely unpleasant, unbearable, or intolerable. It conveys a strong sense of annoyance, irritation, or disgust. The term is often used to describe a person's behavior, attitude, or personality when it is perceived as offensive or exceedingly difficult to tolerate. It can also be applied to situations, sounds, or any other experience that causes significant discomfort or vexation.

The root of the word can be traced to the verb "dräglig," which means bearable or tolerable. Therefore, "odräglig" literally translates to "unbearable" or "intolerable." The prefix "o-" in Swedish typically negates the meaning of the word it is attached to.

When used, "odräglig" implies a strong negative judgment. For instance, a person described as "odräglig" might be seen as arrogant, rude, or constantly complaining. A noise could be "odräglig" if it is excessively loud or persistent. The intensity of the word suggests that the subject is not merely slightly annoying but profoundly so, pushing the limits of one's patience or endurance. It is a common and powerful adjective in the Swedish language for expressing strong displeasure.
