This aspect of the Swedish language is surprisingly confusing. Swedish has four words for great-grandfather, all referring to separate people. These are:

- farfars far (paternal grandfather's father) - dad's dad's dad

- farmors far (paternal grandmother's father) - dad's mom's dad

- morsfars far (maternal grandfather's father) - mom's dad's dad

- morsmors far (maternal grandmother's father) - mom's mom's dad
