kulturella

Kulturella is the plural form of the Swedish adjective kulturell, meaning "cultural" or "relating to culture." It is used attributively before plural nouns, for example kultuella skillnader (cultural differences), kulturella uttryck (cultural expressions), and kulturella identiteter (cultural identities).

In Swedish grammar, adjectives inflect for number and definiteness. The neuter singular form is kulturellt, the common singular form is kulturell, and the plural form is kulturella. When used with definite plural nouns, the adjective remains kulturella while the noun carries the definite suffix, as in de kulturella skillnaderna (the cultural differences).

The term appears broadly in academic, media, and educational language, particularly in discussions of culture, heritage, and social differences. It is closely related to the noun kultur (culture) and to the base adjective kulturell, and has cognates in other Scandinavian languages, such as Danish and Norwegian, with similar meaning and morphology.
