One Billion? Big Swedish Numbers"},"content":{"rendered":"

If you\u2019re like me, you probably find yourself having to count all of the money you made last year. And they are big numbers. Billions even. Obviously. There\u2019s a lot of money to be made in teaching.<\/p>\n

But what if you want to count all that money in Swedish? Have no fear. Below I\u2019ve included a vocab list with some of the words you\u2019ll need to just keep counting.<\/p>\n

A few things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n

Sweden (and plenty of other countries) separates their numbers with decimal points, not commas. So a mile is 5,280 feet in English, but 5.280 feet in Swedish. But what if you have to drive ten and a half miles? 10.5 in English, right? 10,5 in Swedish.<\/p>\n

Swedish numbers tend to be written as compound words, but do not have to be. I\u2019ll be honest, I don\u2019t have a good answer here (if you have a good citation, please write in the comments below!). Depending on which grammar book you consult, you\u2019ll get conflicting results. Some places separate the words with each comma\/decimal: 20,777 = tjugotusen sjuhundrasjutiosju. Others don\u2019t. Chances are, you shouldn\u2019t actually use words to write out these numbers anyway.<\/p>\n

Once you get to those big numbers, things change a bit. One million is\u00a0en miljon<\/i>. But two million is\u00a0tv\u00e5 miljoner<\/i>. Make sure to add that \u2013er when you get that high.\u00a0Fem miljoner<\/i>,\u00a0sex miljarder<\/i>,\u00a0sju biljarder<\/i>. You get the idea.<\/p>\n

Also, those big numbers? They don\u2019t follow the same pattern as we use here in the United States. Sweden uses the long scale for naming those big numbers so\u00a0en miljard<\/i>\u00a0means one billion, but\u00a0en biljon<\/i>\u00a0means one trillion.<\/p>\n

Finally, here are the numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
