Synonyms
Open data sources from Språkbanken Text and Swedish Wiktionary — synonyms and compound words for Swedish, free and without registration.
MALMö, SWEDEN, April 27, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / -- Synonyms , a new Swedish language tool, has been launched with synonym functionality, related words and compound words adapted specifically for Swedish linguistic structures and style levels. The platform is free, requires no
registration and works directly in the browser on all devices. Lexicon data is sourced from Swesaurus — Språkbanken Text, Gothenburg University's open thesaurus — under the CC BY 4.0 license, and from Swedish Wiktionary under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license.What the Platform Offers
Synonyms.it.com combines three levels of functionality in one interface. Synonyms search presents alternative words with contextual information about register, style level and context of use, based on Swesaurus similarity ratings. Related words expand the search to semantically related concepts that are not direct synonyms but may be relevant to the current context, sourced from Swedish Wiktionary. Compound words show how a search term is combined with other words in synonyms Swedish compounds — a feature that is missing from most English-language thesaurus services and which constitutes the platform's own original content.
Data Sources and Open Licensing
The platform's lexicon data is obtained from two open, verified sources. Swesaurus, developed by Språkbanken Text at the University of Gothenburg, provides synonyms with similarity ratings and is used under the CC BY 4.0 license with full attribution. Swedish Wiktionary contributes definitions, etymology, additional synonyms and antonyms under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license. Full source reporting, license texts and attribution information are available at synonymer.it.com/kallor. The platform's compound words, interface design and editorial content are Synonymer.it.com's own original work.
The Difference Against English-Language Platforms
The dominant thesaurus services on the internet — Thesaurus.com, Merriam-Webster Thesaurus, Collins Thesaurus — are built around the semantic logic and idiomaticity of English. Portals like WordReference and Reverso offer multilingual functionality but are generalist in nature. For writers, students and translators working specifically with Swedish, this English dominance means that subtle differences in connotation, register and style level risk being lost. Synonymer.it.com is built with Swedish as a starting point, not as an add-on.
Identified User Groups
The platform is aimed at three primary groups. Professional writers and journalists who need precision tools for lexical choices in editorial and commercial texts. Students studying Swedish as a native, second or foreign language and using synonym search as a vocabulary development tool. Translators working with Swedish as a source or target language and need contextual information about word choice in addition to direct equivalents.
Free and Without Registration
The platform requires no account registration and no subscription. All functions are available without limitation in the number of searches per day. The tool works directly in the browser on computer, tablet and mobile phone without installation.
