Translations:Gender neutral language in Swedish/36/en
- Förförälder. Neutral, nonstandard but will be understood. Means grandparent. Förförälder can be used both as a collective word for grandparents, but also to refer to a parent's parent gender-neutrally. Förföräldrar also serves as an alternative gender-inclusive word to förfäder (forefathers). Förförälder is not included in modern dictionaries, but "förföräldrar" is mentioned in SAOB (The Swedish Academy's dictionary).
- Förför/Förrförr. Neutral, nonstandard. Means grandy/grandma/grandpa. Förför, or alternatively förrförr, ought to be pronounced with "short ö:s" to not confuse it with the word "förför" which means "seduce" (which is pronounced with a short first ö and long second ö). Förför/förrförr is an alternative that fits well together in the pattern of mormor (maternal mother, standard), farmor (paternal mother, standard), morfar (maternal father, standard) and farfar (paternal father, standard).
- Morför. Partially neutral, nonstandard. Means maternal grandparent.
- Farför. Partially neutral, nonstandard. Means paternal grandparent.
- Förmor. Partially neutral, nonstandard. Means parent’s mother/grandma.
- Förfar. Partially neutral, nonstandard. Means parent’s father/grandpa.
