påtaglig

Påtaglig is a Swedish adjective that translates to palpable, tangible, or noticeable in English. It describes something that can be perceived or felt, often in a very clear or obvious way. The word is derived from the verb "påta," meaning to take hold of or to grasp.

The term "påtaglig" is often used to describe abstract concepts or emotions that have a strong, almost physical presence. For example, one might describe a "påtaglig" sense of tension in a room, or a "påtaglig" feeling of relief. It can also be used to describe physical qualities that are easily detected, such as a "påtaglig" difference in temperature or a "påtaglig" scent.

In literature and everyday speech, "påtaglig" serves to emphasize the intensity or clarity of a sensation or observation. It suggests that something is not subtle or hidden, but rather directly evident to the senses or understanding. The word carries a sense of immediacy and direct experience. It is a common term used to convey a strong impression of something's presence.
