årslang

årslang is a Swedish adjective that translates to "year-long" or "lasting a year" in English. It describes something that continues for the duration of an entire year. This term can be applied to various contexts, such as a project, a season, a subscription, or an illness. For example, one might speak of an "årslång undersökning" (year-long investigation) or an "årslång torka" (year-long drought).

The concept of "årslång" implies a significant period of time, often suggesting sustained effort, endurance, or a comprehensive timeframe.

It is a common descriptive term in Swedish when discussing events or conditions that span a complete calendar year.
