uttrycket

Uttrycket is the definite form of the Swedish noun uttryck, which generally means expression, phrase, or formula. The word is used across several domains to refer to something that conveys meaning, a way of expressing something, or, in technical contexts, a mathematical or computational form. The base indefinite form is ett uttryck, the definite form is uttrycket, and the plural is uttrycken.

In linguistics and everyday language, an uttryck can denote a fixed phrase or idiom—a way of expressing a particular idea or sentiment. It can also refer to any spoken or written form used to convey meaning, such as a sentence or collocation. Examples include describing a common uttryck in Swedish or noting that a certain phrase is an elegant uttryck.

In mathematics and logic, ett uttryck refers to a combination of numbers, variables, and operators that can be evaluated or simplified. For example, the expression x^2 + 3x − 5 is a mathematical uttryck. In context, one might discuss ett uttryck i algebra or det här uttrycket is identiskt with another.

In computing and programming, uttryck denotes an expression that yields a value during evaluation, such as a logical or arithmetic expression used within statements or control structures. The term is common in Swedish technical writing and education, where it helps distinguish between mere text and a computable form.

Summary: Uttrycket covers linguistic phrases, mathematical and logical forms, and programming expressions, with its definite form used to refer to a specific expression discussed in text. Plural forms are uttrycken, while the indefinite is ett uttryck.
