ogenomförbart

ogenomförbart is a Swedish adjective that translates to "unfeasible," "impracticable," or "impossible to implement" in English. It describes a plan, task, project, or idea that cannot be carried out successfully due to various obstacles or limitations. These limitations can be practical, financial, technical, or even legal.

The term implies that while a concept might sound theoretically sound, its actual execution faces insurmountable challenges. For instance, a proposal to build a bridge across a notoriously turbulent strait might be considered ogenomförbart due to the extreme engineering difficulties and prohibitive costs involved. Similarly, a policy that requires a fundamental shift in societal behavior without any feasible mechanism for enforcement could be deemed ogenomförbart.

When something is described as ogenomförbart, it suggests that efforts to make it feasible have been considered and found wanting. It's a judgment based on an assessment of practicality and the likelihood of success. The word is often used to dismiss ideas that are considered unrealistic or too difficult to bring to fruition, saving resources and effort by acknowledging the inherent difficulties beforehand.
