Maybe its a Swedish thing, but most of the population live in Stockholm or south of it, so we do not call Stockholm "southern Sweden". Southern tend to mean Scania or the other south parts of the country.
- fl7305 3y agoIn Swedish, "Sydsverige" often just means the very southern tip with Skåne and Blekinge. I never hear people say "Stockholm is in 'Sydsverige'" in Swedish. But that wasn't the context in this case. I described the situation in Sweden to a person from Germany. In that context, I think it is reasonable to call the southernmost one third of Sweden "Southern Sweden". It will give him the correct mental image of what I meant when he looks at a map of Sweden.
