uordentlig

Uordentlig is a Swedish word that translates to "untidy," "messy," "disorderly," or "sloppy" in English. It is an adjective used to describe a state of disarray, lack of organization, or carelessness.

The word can be applied to various contexts. For example, a person's room can be described as uordentlig if it is cluttered with belongings and not cleaned. Similarly, a piece of work or a task can be considered uordentlig if it is done carelessly or without proper attention to detail, leading to errors or a substandard outcome. The term can also describe a person's behavior or appearance if it is perceived as unkempt or lacking in decorum.

The opposite of uordentlig is ordentlig, which means "tidy," "orderly," "proper," or "decent." The distinction between these two words highlights the importance of neatness and organization in Swedish culture and language. While ordentlig often carries positive connotations of diligence and respectability, uordentlig can imply a lack of effort, discipline, or attention to detail.
