Gender neutral language in Swedish: Difference between revisions

* '''Wawa.''' Neutral, informal, nonstandard. Wawa is pronounced with "English w:s". Wawa is similar to mamma (mom) and pappa (dad) in that it consists of repetitive phonemes that are physically easy for smaller children to pronounce. Wawa is a good addition among the Swedish parental words as it provides a completely gender-neutral alternative with similarities of mamma and pappa that do not have an origin in the gender binary.

* '''Other alternatives include:''' mapa, pama, mappi/mapi, babba/baba, babi, dada, momma, momo. The neutrality of these words might vary between what the words generally are associated with and what oneself percieves them as.

*'''Vårdnadshavare.''' Neutral, formal, standard, means caregiver.

*'''Medföräldern.''' Neutral, formal, standard. Means co-parent. This term can be used gender-inclusively, but it's a matter of preference for each individual. Some people do not want to be gendered, some do, what the person sees as most appropriate should be respected.
