Usage notes

  • Sometimes, a suppletive plural form boklådor (plural of the near-synonymous boklåda (bookshop)) is found. This was previously a recommended plural form, as the normal plural form bokhandlarna can also be the pluralform of bokhandlare (bookseller). This recommendation is no longer upheld.
