When reading official documents or legal terms in Swedish, you will frequently encounter the formal conjunction samt ("as well as" or "and also").
| and also / as well as | samt |
While it functions much like och (and), samt elevates the tone. It is highly preferred in formal written Swedish to cleanly group related concepts together. You will often see it linking nouns:
| The user must accept the agreement as well as the terms. | Användaren måste godkänna avtalet samt villkoren. |
| The company limits the user's license as well as rights. | Företaget begränsar användarens licens samt rättigheter. |
| The agreement as well as the license protect the party. | Avtalet samt licensen skyddar parten. |
Samt is also frequently used to connect verbs, often describing a sequence of required actions or a list of privileges:
| To use the app, you must read and also accept the terms. | För att använda appen måste du läsa samt godkänna villkoren. |
| The consent gives us the right to copy and also delete the file. | Samtycket ger oss rättigheten att kopiera samt radera filen. |
It can also link longer phrases and clauses to detail multiple rules or consequences at once:
| It is unauthorized to copy the document as well as the program. | Det är otillåtet att kopiera dokumentet samt programmet. |
| We delete the information and also limit the party's rights. | Vi raderar informationen samt begränsar partens rättigheter. |
