lösningarna

Lösningarna is the definite plural form of the Swedish noun lösning, meaning "the solutions." The word is used to refer to multiple answers or outcomes produced by solving a problem, equation, or task. In Swedish, the singular is lösningen, the indefinite plural is lösningar, and the definite plural is lösningarna. The term often appears in scientific, mathematical, and everyday contexts.

In science, a solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, such as salt dissolved in water. In Swedish, such mixtures are commonly referred to as lösningar, with lösen singular and lösningarna as the definite plural when speaking about a specific group of solutions. In mathematics and logic, a lösning is an answer that satisfies an equation or problem, and lösningarna denotes the set of all such answers in plural form.

In everyday language, löser is used to discuss problem-solving more broadly. Phrases like “hitta lösningarna” (find the solutions) emphasize practical outcomes rather than individual steps. The word is also used in cultural contexts, where Lösningarna may appear as a title or as a stylistic element in books, films, or articles, functioning as a proper noun depending on the context and capitalization.

Etymology traces lösning back to the verb lösa, meaning to solve or loosen, with the noun form signaling the result or outcome of solving. See also: lösning.
