beröring

touch

Definition & meaning

Beröring is a noun meaning touch or physical contact—the act or sensation of one thing touching another. It can refer to a gentle touch, contact between people, or the sense of touch.

It can also mean contact or connection with a subject, activity, or field, especially in the expression “to have some contact with” something.

Grammar & Word origin

Beröring is a common-gender noun: en beröring. Its definite form is beröringen; the plural forms are beröringar and beröringarna.

It is formed from the verb (“to touch; to affect”) and the noun-forming ending -ing. The verb combines the prefix with (“to move; to touch”).

Synonyms & antonyms

  • — “contact”; broader than beröring, since contact need not be physical or involve touching.
  • — “touching” or “contact”; often refers specifically to the act of touching.
  • — an informal borrowing used for a physical touch or tactile impression.

Possible opposites, depending on context:

  • — “separation”; being apart or disconnected.
