What are the Swedish names for Grandma and Grandpa?

The first answer is almost right, but in Sweden they distinguish between maternal and paternal grandparents. It is very important that one notes which side of the family the grandparents are on.





It depends on which side of the family they are on. For grandfather, it is "farfar" if it is the father's father (paternal grandfather), and "morfar" if it is the mother's father (maternal grandfather). Also, "mormor" if it is the maternal grandmother, and "farmor" if it is the paternal grandmother.
