Sveticism
Template:Short description A Sveticism (Template:IPAc-en) is a grammatical construction, loanword or calque originating from the Swedish language.
Sveticisms are particularly found in the Finnish language, because Finland's governing bureaucracy was mostly Swedish-speaking until the 20th century. The use of Swedish grammatical constructions in official speech is a particularly persistent habit. The Swedish Script error: No such module "Lang". future tense is an example, being translated to Script error: No such module "Lang". + third infinitive in illative case,[1] e.g. Script error: No such module "Lang". < Swedish Script error: No such module "Lang". 'the house will be built'. The language regulatorScript error: No such module "Unsubst". recommends against such usage in official speech.
Sveticisms are also common in Norwegian.[2] Swedish loanwords in Norwegian include words such as Script error: No such module "Lang". ('celebrity'), Script error: No such module "Lang". ('friend') and the prefix Script error: No such module "Lang". ('electric') as well as phrases such as Script error: No such module "Lang". ('everything has been taken care of') and Script error: No such module "Lang". ('in the long run').[2]
Sveticisms in English are loanwords, such as smörgåsbord, ombudsman, tungsten, orienteering, moped and running the gauntlet (reinterpretation of Swedish Script error: No such module "Lang".).
