politiska

Politiska is a Swedish adjective meaning related to politics or the political realm. It is used to describe aspects of government, civic life, and public policy. Common collocations include politiska partier (political parties), politiska beslut (political decisions), politiska frågor (political issues), and politiska system (political systems).

Origin and inflection: Politiska derives from politik ('policy' or 'politics') with the adjectival suffix -ska, producing inflected forms that agree with the noun. In Swedish, adjectives take different endings for gender and number: politisk (common, singular), politiskt (neuter, singular), politiska (plural or definite form). For example: en politisk fråga, flera politiska frågor; ett politiskt system, flera politiska system.

Cross-linguistic notes: In Danish and Norwegian, the cognate form is politiske; in Swedish politiska is the standard plural/adjectival form. The term is widely used in media, scholarship, and everyday speech to denote matters relating to governance, elections, and public policy, distinguishing political topics from non-political ones.

Politiska is primarily a grammatical term; its meaning is the same across contexts: related to politics.
