Swedish (Svenska) is spoken by about 10 million people across Sweden and parts of Finland. It belongs to the Germanic (Indo-European) language family and is written in the Latin alphabet with å, ä, ö. Swedish attaches the definite article to the end of the noun (hus → huset), has two grammatical genders, and uses pitch accent that can distinguish word meanings.

English to Swedish translation tips

  • English uses subject–verb–object word order, while Swedish is verb-second, so the AI restructures whole sentences instead of substituting words one by one.
  • Swedish builds 'the' into the noun itself and keeps the verb in second position, so articles and word order are restructured rather than mapped one to one. English requires an explicit subject in nearly every sentence and marks questions with word order, so translations into English often need pronouns and auxiliaries that the source language leaves out.
  • Swedish nouns are en-words or ett-words, and the definite article is a suffix rather than a separate word: en bil (a car) becomes bilen (the car), ett hus (a house) becomes huset (the house).
  • Swedish is a V2 language: the finite verb must be the second element in a statement, so when a sentence starts with something other than the subject (Idag åker jag...), the subject and verb swap order.
  • Adjectives and past participles agree with the noun's gender and number, so 'a red car' is en röd bil but 'a red house' is ett rött hus.

Swedish false friends to watch for

  • glass looks like “glass” but means ice cream.
  • rock looks like “rock” but means skirt.
  • bra looks like “bra” but means good.
  • puss looks like “puss” but means a kiss.

English to Swedish translation FAQ

Do I need an account to translate English to Swedish?

No. Open the page, paste your English text, and translate. AI Translate is free and requires no sign-up.

How accurate is AI English to Swedish translation?

The translator uses a modern AI language model that understands context, so English to Swedish results read more naturally than word-for-word tools. Swedish builds 'the' into the noun itself and keeps the verb in second position, so articles and word order are restructured rather than mapped one to one. For legal, medical, or other high-stakes text, have a fluent speaker review the output.

How do you say hello in Swedish?

Hello in Swedish is Hej. The common-phrases table on this page lists more everyday Swedish expressions, such as Tack (thank you) and Hej då (goodbye).

Can I translate Swedish back to English?

Yes. Use the swap button next to the language selectors, or open the dedicated Swedish to English translator page.

Is my text kept private?

Your English text is sent securely for translation and is not stored as raw content. There are no ads and no tracking cookies.

How much English text can I translate at once?

You can translate up to 2,000 characters of English per request. For longer documents, translate them in sections.

Does the translator use 'du' or the formal 'ni'?

Modern Swedish overwhelmingly uses the informal 'du' even in business contexts, so the translator defaults to it. Add a cue like 'formal' if you specifically need the older, more distant 'ni' form.

Will the translator get en/ett gender right?

Yes, the model learns noun gender from context and produces the correct article and inflected adjective forms, which is one of the trickiest parts of Swedish for learners to memorize.
