I know what the word means, but I’m unsure how to use it in a sentence. In my native language, Danish,“backorder” translates to “Restordre” and when something is unavailable, we say it’s"i Restordre",which translates directly into English as “in backorder”, but I’m not sure that’s correct English. Do English people say that or just “backordered” or something else?

    And we could say “in backorder status”. Thank gods I was born to English and didn’t have to learn it.

      Thank god I grew up around a lot of English content because learning any other language has been nigh impossible even if their closer related to my mother tongue.
