oförstörbart

Oförstörbart is a Swedish adjective that is typically translated as “indestructible” or “unbreakable.” It describes something that cannot be destroyed under reasonable conditions or that shows very high resistance to damage, wear, or corrosion. The word is formed with a negating prefix o- attached to the stem that means destroyable, conveying the idea of not being destroyable.

Usage is common intechnical, materials science, and construction contexts where very high strength and resistance are discussed. In everyday language and marketing, the term is often used hyperbolically to emphasize robustness of products such as mobile phone cases or tools. It can also be used metaphorically about ideas, reputations, or decisions that are perceived as strong and durable.

In practice, there are no materials that are absolutely indestructible in a physical sense. “Oförstörbart” typically denotes properties that are extremely high under specified conditions, while real lifecycles and wear can lead to failure under prolonged or extreme energy input. The term thus functions as a qualitative descriptor, signaling exceptional resilience rather than an absolute scientific guarantee.
