Definition & meaning
Uppdatera means to update: to make something current by adding new information or changing it to reflect the latest version or situation.

Grammar & Word origin
Uppdatera is a verb:
- Infinitive: uppdatera
- Present: uppdaterar
- Past: uppdaterade
- Supine: uppdaterat
- Imperative: uppdatera
It consists of upp- (“up”) and datera (“date”). The verb was formed under the influence of English update.
Synonyms & antonyms
- förnya — “renew”; emphasizes making something fresh or new, not necessarily bringing it up to date.
- ajourföra — “bring up to date”; a more formal word, often used for records or information.
- informera — “inform”; broader than uppdatera, since it does not necessarily involve the latest developments.
There is no direct antonym, but låta bli att uppdatera means “to leave something without updating it.”
