oförändrade

Oförändrade is a Swedish adjective meaning unchanged or not altered. It describes a state in which something has not undergone change. The term is formed from the verb förändra (to change) with the negating prefix o-. The basic stem is oförändrad and its variations adjust for gender, number, and definiteness.

In grammar, oförändrad (singular, common gender) and oförändrat (singular, neuter) are the indefinite forms; oförändrade is the plural form and also the definite plural form when used with definite nouns: de oförändrade priserna or de oförändrade böckerna. The adjective can appear attributively before a noun (en oförändrad situation) or predicatively (Priserna är oförändrade). It is closely related to oföränderlig, which conveys a stronger sense of invariance.

In usage, it is common in reports, statistics, economics, and everyday language to denote stability or lack of change in values, conditions, or descriptions. While oförändrade is neutral, other forms such as oföränderlig carry a stronger sense of invariance. The term is versatile for describing conditions that remain constant over a period or across measurements, without implying any value judgment about why the change did or did not occur.
