ufordøyelig

Ufordøyelig is a Norwegian adjective that translates to "indigestible" or "unbearable" in English. It is used to describe something that is difficult to consume or tolerate, both literally and figuratively.

Literally, ufordøyelig can refer to food that is hard to digest, causing physical discomfort. For example, a very fatty meal might be described as ufordøyelig.

Figuratively, the term is applied to situations, information, or behavior that is unpleasant, offensive, or simply too much to handle. This could include a shocking piece of news, a particularly rude comment, or an overwhelming amount of work. The feeling associated with something ufordøyelig is one of discomfort, aversion, or even revulsion. It implies a strong negative reaction that makes something unacceptable or difficult to process. The word captures a sense of something being fundamentally incompatible with one's system, whether that system is the digestive tract or the mind and emotions.
