Samma (Swedish)

  • Meaning: "Same"
  • Explanation: This word is used to indicate sameness or identity with something previously mentioned or understood in context. It refers to something that is not different, unchanged, or identical to another thing.
  • Usage: Often used both as an adjective and pronoun. For example:
    • Jag vill ha samma bok — "I want the same book."
    • Vi gör samma sak — "We are doing the same thing."

Similar words:

  • Likadan — translates roughly to "similar" or "like that," but "samma" implies exact sameness, whereas "likadan" can imply similarity without being exactly the same.
  • Lik — means "equal" or "identical," used mostly in comparisons or mathematical contexts, similar in meaning to "samma" but less common in everyday speech.

In summary, "samma" is the standard Swedish word for "the same," describing exact equality or identity between things.
