sändbar

Sändbar is a Swedish adjective meaning that something can be sent or transmitted, in the sense of being suitable for broadcasting, mailing, or other forms of delivery. It is formed from the verb sända (to send) and the suffix -bar, which signals capability or suitability. The noun form sändbarhet denotes the property of being sendable.

In everyday and professional language, sändbar is most often used in media, broadcasting and telecommunications contexts. It describes content or signals that may be broadcast or dispatched under applicable regulations, licensing, or technical constraints. Examples include phrases like "Programmet är sändbart" (the program is broadcastable) or "Innehållet är inte sändbart under den aktuella sändningstillståndet." The term can also apply to technical workflows, where it indicates that a live stream, file, or message can be transmitted to an intended recipient or platform.

In computing and information technology, sändbar is sometimes used in a broader, metaphorical sense to describe data, messages, or signals that can be transmitted between systems, modules, or execution contexts. The precise meaning depends on the context and language, and some uses may translate from English as "sendable." It is less common in strict programming terminology but can appear in documentation or descriptive texts.
