Grammatiskt

Grammatiskt is a Swedish term meaning related to grammar or to grammatical correctness. As a linguistic marker, it is the adverbial form of the adjective grammatikal/grammatisk and is commonly used to discuss how language conforms to grammatical rules. In practice, grammatiskt is used to describe the manner in which something is expressed or analyzed from a grammatical point of view.

In everyday language and language teaching, grammatiskt appears in phrases such as grammatiskt korrekt (grammatically correct), grammatiska regler (grammatical rules), and grammatiskt fel (a grammatical error). The word is often encountered in explanations of syntax, morphology, and sentence structure, where a sentence or form is evaluated for its adherence to standard grammar.

Grammatiskt is distinct from the base adjective grammatikal/grammatisk, which describes a noun or noun phrase as being grammar-related. Grammatiskt functions primarily as an adverbial modifier, for example when saying that a construction is grammatiskt acceptable or not. The term is widely used in education, dictionaries, and linguistic discussions to contrast correct versus incorrect forms and to discuss how linguistic choices align with prescriptive or descriptive grammar.
