Sveticism

A Sveticism () is a grammatical construction, loanword or calque originating from the Swedish language.

Sveticisms are particularly found in the Finnish language, because Finland's governing bureaucracy was mostly Swedish-speaking until the 20th century. The use of Swedish grammatical constructions in official speech is a particularly persistent habit. The Swedish future tense is an example, being translated to + third infinitive in illative case, e.g. < Swedish 'the house will be built'. The language regulator recommends against such usage in official speech.
