Compare for example <i>bildäck</i> (<i>bil</i> (car) + <i>däck</i> (tire) = car tire) and <i>lastbilsdäck</i> (<i>last</i> (cargo) + <i>bil</i> (car) (= truck) + <i>-s-</i> + <i>däck</i> (tire) = truck tire). Intuitively, the <i>-s-</i> disambiguates <i>cargocar-tire</i> from <i>cargo-cartire</i>. This also extends to longer compound nouns, like <i>lastbilsdäckstryck</i> (truck tire pressure) and <i>lastbilsdäckslufttryck</i> (truck tire air pressure), which get an additional <i>-s-</i> before <i>tryck</i> (pressure) and <i>lufttryck</i> (air pressure), respectively (with the last example meant to illustrate that <i>lufttryck</i> does not turn into "luftstryck," as the word decomposes as <i>lastbil</i> (truck) + <i>däck</i> (tire) + <i>lufttryck</i> (air pressure)). In practice, such long compound nouns would often be rewritten as several words for the sake of readability (for example, "lufttrycket i lastbilsdäcken" (the air pressure in the truck tires)), though they sometimes crop up. Note that this rule of thumb only covers one case. Many other compound nouns also get an <i>-s-</i>.</li> <li>Another rule of thumb is that a compound noun that starts with a noun that ends in <i>-ing</i> (-ing) always gets an <i>-s-</i>. For example, <i>tidning</i> (newspaper) and <i>artikel</i> (article) turns into <i>tidningsartikel</i>.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Derived_terms_10">Derived terms</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=-s-&amp;action=edit&amp;section=57" title="Edit section: Derived terms"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="derivedterms CategoryTreeTag" data-ct-options="{&quot;mode&quot;:10,&quot;hideprefix&quot;:20,&quot;showcount&quot;:false,&quot;namespaces&quot;:[0],&quot;notranslations&quot;:false}"><div class="CategoryTreeSection"><div class="CategoryTreeItem"><span class="CategoryTreeBullet"><a class="CategoryTreeToggle" data-ct-title="Swedish_terms_interfixed_with_-s-" aria-expanded="false"></a> </span> <bdi dir="ltr"><a href="/wiki/Category:Swedish_terms_interfixed_with_-s-" title="Category:Swedish terms interfixed with -s-">Swedish terms interfixed with -s-</a></bdi></div><div class="CategoryTreeChildren" style="display:none"></div></div></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="See_also_6">See also</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=-s-&amp;action=edit&amp;section=58" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><span class="Latn" lang="sv"><a href="/wiki/-a-#Swedish" title="-a-">-a-</a></span></li> <li><span class="Latn" lang="sv"><a href="/wiki/-e-#Swedish" title="-e-">-e-</a></span></li> <li><span class="Latn" lang="sv"><a href="/wiki/-es-#Swedish" title="-es-">-es-</a></span></li> <li><span class="Latn" lang="sv"><a href="/wiki/-o-#Swedish" title="-o-">-o-</a></span></li> <li><span class="Latn" lang="sv"><a href="/wiki/-u-#Swedish" title="-u-">-u-</a></span></li></ul> <!-- NewPP limit report Parsed by mw‐web.codfw.main‐78f4c97c5d‐5wwrm Cached time: 20241128233558 Cache expiry: 21600 Reduced expiry: true Complications: [vary‐revision‐sha1, show‐toc] CPU time usage: 0.609 seconds Real time usage: 0.798 seconds Preprocessor visited node count: 1850/1000000 Post‐expand include size: 40147/2097152 bytes Template argument size: 1296/2097152 bytes Highest expansion depth: 25/100 Expensive parser function count: 39/500 Unstrip recursion depth: 0/20 Unstrip post‐expand size: 11130/5000000 bytes Lua time usage: 0.447/10.000 seconds Lua memory usage: 19908532/104857600 bytes Number of Wikibase entities loaded: 0/400 --> <!-- Transclusion expansion time report (%,ms,calls,template) 100.00% 724.392 1 -total 23.04% 166.927 1 Template:also 14.85% 107.589 5 Template:n-g 13.68% 99.129 5 Template:inh 12.84% 93.009 1 Template:glossary 7.83% 56.707 4 Template:no_deprecated_lang_param_usage 6.90% 49.968 13 Template:head 6.88% 49.855 20 Template:m 6.69% 48.472 1 Template:rfe 6.25% 45.255 12 Template:interfixsee --> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key enwiktionary:pcache:idhash:1462161-0!canonical and timestamp 20241128233558 and revision id 82276701.
