uutsigelig - very, that cannot be expressed by means of normal words Hun følte en uutsigelig glede da hun så hunden sin. She felt an indescribable happiness when she saw her dog.

uutslettelig - that cannot be hidden Filmen jeg så i går gjorde et uutslettelig inntrykk på meg. The movie I watched yesterday made a lasting impression on me.

uutslokkelig - that cannot be extinguised/quenched (literary) Ingen kan frata ham hans uutslokkelig lidenskap. No-one can take away his inextinguishable passion.

uutsprungen / uutsprunget - that which hasn’t yet bloomed Blomsterbedet stod fortsatt uutsprunget. The flowerbed still hadn’t bloomed.
