    Example: "Uppsala domkyrka" = "Uppsala Cathedral."


Similar Words

  • Domstol – Means "court," the institution where judges deliver judgments or rulings; contextually different as it refers to the organization, not the decision itself.
  • Domen – The definite form, meaning "the judgment" or "the verdict."

Summary:
"Dom" mainly refers to either a legal judgment or a cathedral, depending on context. Its meaning is quite distinct, so typically there is no confusion with synonyms except to distinguish between the ruling (dom) and the court (domstol).
