We produced this list of the most common Swedish vocabulary words through a statistical analysis of an extensive collection of Swedish-language documents (such as news articles and other articles on the web).
We have sorted this Swedish vocabulary list by frequency: the words appearing near the top are more common than those appearing further down the list.

-
en

skön
[adjective]

The Swedish adjective "skön" is used to describe something that is pleasing to the senses or attractive.

For instance, "skön" can also be used to describe something that is comfortable or pleasant to touch, while "schön" does not have that connotation in German.

vuxen

(adult)
The Swedish adjective "vuxen" means "adult" in English. This word is closely related to the Swedish verb "växa", which means "to grow". The connection between the two words can be understood by considering the process of growing up and maturing into an adult. In Swedish, "vuxen" is also used as a noun to refer to an adult person, regardless of gender. For example, "en vuxen man" means "an adult man" and "en vuxen kvinna" means "an adult woman". It is worth noting that the Swedish language does not have a separate word for "grown-up" as English does, and instead uses "vuxen" to convey this meaning.
