landskap/ län / region
Explanation:
Ciao Romina, in svedese è importante la distinzione tra regione in senso geografico (landskap) o amministrativo (län). Questo vale per le regioni svedesi. Se il testo invece tratta di regioni italiane, di solito si rimane fedeli al termine italianizzato "region". Saluti Gabriella.

län


Explanation:
Currently, Sweden is divided into 21 län (the singular and plural form is identical in Swedish; in English they are usually called "counties"). There are plans for a reformed divison into 6-9 regions, but no decision has yet been taken.

The elected assemblies of the län are called "landsting".
