"Calculated"

[jsofsweden]

Hi!
I need help..
Is the following correct, can one say:
- That something new "wasn't calculated for"? -

Trying to say that something happened that we didn't anticipate.. "Something happened that wasn't calculated for."
(Note, it's important that the word "calculated" is being used, if it even is okay to use the word calculate as a synonym to anticipate?)
Maybe this is Swenglish? haha

I think the expression you want is "calculate ON".

My Apple Dictionary gives the following example:

We had calculated on a quiet Sunday.
expect, count on, anticipate, reckon on, bargain on, figure on

[jsofsweden]

Aah of course!
So like, do you think it would be accurate to say something like "This beautiful day wasn't calculated on"?

[Josef Essberger]

It’s not wrong but active would be more natural

[Josef Essberger]

We/They didn’t calculate on this beautiful day.

[jsofsweden]

what do you mean by "active"? is that the example that you gave?

[Josef Essberger]

I mean active voice not passive voice.

Yes my example is active. Your was passive.

[Josef Essberger]

Normally we speak and write in active voice. But passive can be used sometimes. Like I did just there lol
