rummet

Rummet is the definite form of the Swedish noun rum, meaning a room or enclosed space. In ordinary usage, rummet refers to a specific room within a building, and its exact referent is determined by context. The term is widely used in everyday speech as well as in descriptions of interiors and architectural layouts.

In Swedish-language culture, Rummet has also been used as a title for various artistic and literary works. As a label, the word often signals themes related to interiority, personal space, privacy, or confinement, though each work treats the concept of a room in its own way. Because it is a common noun turned into a title, interpretations can vary widely.

Grammar and forms: rum is a neuter noun. Indefinite singular is ett rum; definite singular is rummet. Indefinite plural is rum; definite plural is rummen. The word also appears in common phrases, such as mitt rum (my room), ett litet rum (a small room), or rummet mitt i huset (the room in the middle of the house).
