tillsammans

Tillsammans is a Swedish word meaning "together" or "in collaboration." It is used as an adverb and in phrases such as "tillsammans med" (together with) to denote joint action, solidarity, or collective effort. The term appears widely in everyday Swedish to describe cooperative activities, partnerships, or communal endeavors.

In culture and media, tillsamman s is best known as the title of Lukas Moodysson’s 2000 Swedish film, released internationally as Together. The drama is set in a 1970s commune in Malmö and follows residents across generations as they navigate personal relationships, political ideals, and communal life. The film received international attention, earning prizes at film festivals and contributing to Moodysson’s subsequent prominence as a filmmaker.

Beyond cinema, tillsamman s is commonly used as a productive or aspirational title for local community projects, campaigns, and organizations that emphasize unity, cooperation, or collective action. In Swedish media and public discourse, the word functions as a generic descriptor for joint efforts—whether in social work, cultural initiatives, or civic engagement.

Because tillsamman s is a common Swedish term, its usage spans several domains, from everyday language to formal titles. When encountered, it typically signals a focus on unity, shared goals, or cooperative action, rather than on individual pursuit.
