tåler

Tåler is a Swedish verb that translates to "to tolerate," "to withstand," or "to endure" in English. It describes the ability to withstand or put up with something, often something unpleasant or difficult. This can refer to physical endurance, such as tåler kyla (to tolerate cold), or a more general capacity to bear a situation, like tåler inte orättvisa (cannot tolerate injustice).

The verb is commonly used in everyday conversation and in various contexts. For example, one might say "Jag tål inte den här musiken" which means "I can't stand this music." In a medical context, it could be used to describe a patient's ability to tolerate a certain treatment, such as "Patienten tål medicinen bra" (The patient tolerates the medicine well).

Tåler can also imply acceptance or a lack of strong objection. If someone says "Jag tål det" it might mean "I can live with it" or "I can put up with it," even if it's not ideal. The word's versatility allows it to express a range of meanings related to coping with and enduring various circumstances, from minor annoyances to significant hardships.
