påstigning

== Swedish == === Etymology === Compound of på (“on”) +‎ stigning (“stepping”). Deverbal from stiga på (“step on”). Cf. Norwegian Bokmål påstigning and Norwegian Nynorsk påstiging. === Noun === påstigning c boarding (chiefly of land vehicle, e.g. bus or train) Near-synonym: (of ship, aircraft) ombordstigning Antonym: avstigning (“disembarkation”) ==== Usage notes ==== The terms påstigning and ombordstigning are broadly synonymous, but they belong to different usage domains and are generally not interchangeable. Påstigning is typically used for land-based vehicles such as buses and trains, while ombordstigning is used for larger ships and aircraft. However, for smaller craft (e.g. a rowing boat) and for vessels used in public transport (e.g. a ferry), as well as in colloquial speech, the distinction is less strict. ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== påstigningssignal (“request stop signal”)
