Svensk ordbok

This app is published by the Swedish Academy and contains a minor update of the second edition of the Swedish Dictionary published by the Swedish Academy (SO). The first edition of the dictionary was published in 2009 and the second in 2021. The work on the update has been carried out at Språkbanken, Department of Swedish, Multilingualism and Language Technology (formerly Department of Swedish Language) at the University of Gothenburg.

The second edition of SO, which contains almost 65,000 entries, offers its users a detailed description of a selection of words in modern Swedish. The emphasis is on the meaning/s and usage of the listed words in combination with historical information.
