varierar

Varierar is a Swedish verb meaning to vary, to differ within a range, or to change in a non-uniform way. It is used to describe fluctuation in quantity, quality, or conditions across items, times, or places. The term often appears when something is not constant but shows differences or changes.

Conjugation is as follows: Infinitive variera; present varierar (jag varierar, du varierar, han/hon/den/Det varierar, vi varierar, ni varierar, de varierar); past varied by blev varierade; supine/participial form varierat; perfect tense har varierat; imperative variera.

Usage notes: varierar is common in contexts such as data, measurements, or outcomes that do not remain fixed. Phrases like temperaturen varierar mellan 10 och 20 grader, eller priset varierar över tid, are typical. It can describe natural differences between items (kvalitet som varierar) or across conditions (resultatet varierar beroende på metod).

Etymology and related forms: variera likely derives from Latin varius 'diverse' via French eller directly into Swedish, with earliest inherited forms appearing in early modern Swedish. Related terms include variation (variation), varierbar (variable or capable of varying) and synonyms like växla, ändra, skifta.
