Word origin
The Japanese name スウェーデン (Suwēden) comes from the English country name Sweden as a sound-based borrowing rather than from native Japanese words.
Usage tips
- Sweden and Switzerland are separate countries, although English learners sometimes confuse their names because both begin with the sound Sw.
