Questions & Answers about Ordet har en annan betydelse i det här sammanhanget.
Why do we use annan here instead of annat or andra?
We use annan because the noun it describes, betydelse (meaning), is a singular en-word. If the word were an ett-word like ord (word), we would use ett annat ord, and for plural we would use andra betydelser.
Does en annan mean "another" or "a different"?
It can mean both! In Swedish, annan covers both "another" (an additional one) and "a different" (not the same one). In this sentence, it clearly means the word has a different meaning.
Why is the noun sammanhanget in the definite form (ending in -et) when the English translation says "this context"?
In Swedish, when you use the pointing words den här or det här (this), the noun that follows must almost always be in its definite form. Since sammanhang is an ett-word, it becomes det här sammanhanget (literally "this the context").
How does the word betydelse (meaning) relate to the verb for "to mean"?
The verb for "to mean" or "to signify" is betyda. Swedish often creates nouns from verbs by adding the suffix -else, which turns the verb root into the noun betydelse (meaning).
