skjutbara

Skjutbara is a Swedish adjective meaning that something can be slid horizontally along a track or groove. It is used to describe components that open or operate by sliding rather than rotating, such as doors, panels, drawers, and windows. The indefinite singular form is skjutbar (en skjutbar dörr), the neuter singular is skjutbart (ett skjutbart fönster), and the indefinite plural is skjutbara (skjutbara dörrar).

Originating from the verb skjuta, meaning to push or to slide, combined with the suffix -bar meaning "capable of," skjutbara conveys the ability to be moved by sliding. In architectural and furniture contexts, the sense of sliding along a track or groove is central to the term.

In practice, skjutbara elements are common in catalogs, manuals, and descriptions of space-saving designs. Examples include skjutbara dörrar (sliding doors), skjutbara lådor (slidable drawers), and skjutbara fönster (sliding windows). The term is often used to differentiate from doors or panels that swing or hinge open.

Related terms include glidbar, which can also describe sliding capability in a broader sense, and skjutbarhet, the nominal form meaning "slidability" or the property of being able to slide. While skjutbar is widely understood, context typically clarifies whether the emphasis is on horizontal sliding along a track or on general movable panels.
