- 1a/ˈswiːdɪʃ/from Sweden瑞典的
Connected with Sweden — its people, its language, its food, its design, or anything else that belongs to that country.
Swedish 是從 Sweden 變出來的形容詞。它可以放在名詞前面，例如 Swedish furniture。也可以放在 be 動詞後面，例如 He is Swedish。開頭的 S 在句子中間也要大寫。它同時涵蓋「那個國家的」和「那個語言的」。到底是哪一種，看後面接什麼名詞。a Swedish class 是上瑞典語的課。Swedish weather 就是那個國家的天氣。當形容詞時永遠不加 s，所以是 three Swedish students。
示範例句 · Example
My uncle bought a Swedish bookshelf and put it together in an hour.
中文翻譯我叔叔買了一個瑞典的書架，然後在一個小時內把它組起來。
Swedish is the adjective built on Sweden. It goes in front of a noun (Swedish furniture, a Swedish friend) or after be (He is Swedish). The capital S stays even inside a sentence, because it comes from a country name. It covers the language too, so a Swedish class is a class in the language, while Swedish weather is the weather in the country — the noun after it tells you which. As an adjective it never takes an s: three Swedish students, not three Swedishes students.

- 2n/ˈswiːdɪʃ/the Swedish language瑞典語
The language of Sweden, which is also spoken by some people in Finland.
文法不可數名詞：通常不加 a/an，也不加 -s 來表示複數。
當名詞用時，Swedish 就是那個語言的名字。英文的語言名稱是不可數的。前面不加 a，也不加 the。所以是 She speaks Swedish。也可以說 My Swedish is getting better。開頭的 S 一樣要大寫。中文說「瑞典文」會很自然地帶個「的」，英文這裡什麼都不加。要說「用瑞典語寫的」就用 in Swedish。來源也提到，除了瑞典，芬蘭也有一部分人講這個語言。
Used as a noun, Swedish is the name of the language. Language names in English are uncountable and take no a and no the: she speaks Swedish, a book written in Swedish, my Swedish is getting better. The capital S stays. Learners often add the here because many other languages work that way in their first language, but English keeps language names bare. The one common spot for in is the phrase in Swedish, meaning written or spoken in that language.
