Funktionersåsom

Funktionersåsom is a term that appears to be a nonstandard compound derived from the Swedish words funktioner (functions) and såsom (such as). It is not a recognized entry in standard Swedish dictionaries and is generally considered editorially unusual. When encountered, the form is typically read as an attempt to convey the phrase “functions such as” but without the space between the words.

The use of funktionersåsom is mostly observed in informal writing, drafts, or user-generated content where authors try to compress phrases for stylistic or spacing reasons. In formal or published texts, the conventional spelling funktioner såsom with a space is preferred, because separation improves readability and aligns with standard orthography. The continual concatenation can cause ambiguity, especially for readers who expect clear typographic boundaries in technical or instructional material.

In practice, the concept that the term tries to express is familiar across fields where examples of functions are listed. In linguistics and language learning materials, it might appear around sentences that introduce exemplary functions. In programming or mathematical documentation, writers more commonly use explicit constructions like “funktioner såsom f(x) och g(y)” to present sample functions without resorting to a nonstandard compound.

Orthographic considerations are central to the discussion of funktionersåsom. Editors typically recommend using the spaced form funktioner såsom to preserve clarity and to conform to conventional Swedish spelling rules. Because funktionersåsom is not widely recognized, its use is likely to be corrected or avoided in formal writing. See also: såsom, funktion, lingual compounds, Swedish orthography.
