ogenerös

ogenerös is a Swedish adjective that translates to "ungenerous" or "stingy" in English. It describes a person who is unwilling to give or share, often in a way that is perceived as mean-spirited or lacking in generosity. The term can be applied to individuals who are reluctant to part with their possessions, money, or even their time and effort.

The concept of being "ogenerös" can manifest in various situations. For instance, someone might be considered ungenerous if they refuse to lend something to a friend in need, consistently withhold praise or compliments, or are hesitant to contribute to charitable causes. It implies a certain narrow-mindedness or a focus on self-interest that prevents them from acting in a giving or accommodating manner.

While "ogenerös" is generally a negative descriptor, the degree to which someone is perceived as such can be subjective and depend on cultural norms and individual expectations. What one person considers ungenerous, another might see as prudent or financially responsible. However, in most contexts, the term carries a connotation of a personal failing or a lack of positive social behavior. It stands in contrast to positive attributes like generosity, kindness, and open-handedness.
