Closely related words

Like Swedish, every language has some associations native speakers tend to ignore, that can seem pretty weird at first for language learners.

Let’s look at these two words: “grow” and “plant”. These two words, in English seem to have no relation to each other. But Swedes are crazy about nature. So naturally, some words get their name from nature.

Plants grow. People grow. Companies might grow.

But from a Swedish perspective, you could say that plants grow. And other things... do just like plants.

Växt 🪴 = Plant

Växa 📈= To grow

Some examples

Fikus är min favoritväxt = Ficus is my favourite plant

Vilka växter växer snabbt? = Which plants grow fast?

And also applied to other things that are not plants

Hur snabbt växer hår? = How fast does hair grow?

Min svenska ordförråd växer för varje dag = My Swedish vocabulary grows every day
