Internationell

Internationell is a Swedish adjective that describes something related to or involving more than one nation, or having cross-border scope. It is used for relations, institutions, agreements, events, and issues with international significance. Common phrases include internationell handel (international trade), internationell rätt (international law), and internationell politik (international politics). The term often appears in discussions about cooperation between countries, global organizations, or cross-border problems.

Etymology: Internationell is cognate with the English term international. The Swedish form derives from Latin internationalis, via French international, and uses the standard Swedish suffix -ell to form adjectives.

Usage: Internationell agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number (for example en internationell konferens, två internationella konferenser). The adverbial form is internationellt. The word typically contrasts with nationell (national), indicating a scope that goes beyond a single nation.
