Dessutom (Swedish) – Adverb
Definition:
The word "dessutom" means "besides," "in addition," "moreover," or "furthermore" in English. It is used to add extra information that supports or emphasizes a previous statement.
Usage Example:
- Han är duktig, och dessutom väldigt hjälpsam.
(He is skilled, and besides that, very helpful.)
Similar words / synonyms:
- Vidare – means "further" or "furthermore," often more formal.
- Också – means "also," used for adding information but without the emphatic nuance of "dessutom."
- Till på köpet – means "on top of that," colloquial and more informal, sometimes implying something extra gained.
Difference:
While också simply adds information of a similar nature, dessutom emphasizes an additional point that strengthens the argument or statement. Vidare is more formal and often used in writing.
