Education / Pedagogy
Swedish term or phrase: akademi

I wonder how to translate the word "akademi" in this context.
Could be "educational institutions"? Should it be more specific e.g. colleges or universities? I think it should be a general expression because there are several types of educational institutions.
Thank you.

disagree  Anna Herbst: Sounds good, but translated back to Swedish "academia" becomes "den akademiska världen", of which "en akademi" can be a part. See my note from Stockholms universitet, which excludes this usage for "akademi".
8 mins
  -> In the context 'akademi' = 'en akademi' doesn't make sense. Maybe a backtranslation from English or a careless use of the Swedish word? 'Academia' fits the context.
agree  Gunnar Sommerfeldt: Agree. In this context, academia seems to be appropriate.

Explanation:
Why change the Greek word when it is used pretty much in the same way in both Swedish and English.

neutral  Michele Fauble: "within education and academy"?/'akademi' is not being used in any of those ways in the context, "den akademiska världen" seems to be what is meant. Translate the words or the meaning?
10 mins
  -> Just as strange as "inom utbildning och akademi".
disagree  Charlesp: Huh? (scratching my head over this SUGGESTION) V- makes no sense in this context, and context is king in translation.

  -> Could you please clarify the context and make a fitting suggestion rather than mock mine.

institutions


Explanation:
This is the correct term in the wording of the sentence.
Note that education, including universities, etc, is covered by the the word 'utbildning'.

neutral  Anna Herbst: Too wide a term here in my view. Some institutions are academies and some academies are universities... / I would not use "institutions" as a translation for "akademi" in this context.
25 mins
  -> Thank you Anna, although a suitable translation rather than views is required. I leave it to the Asker...
disagree  Gunnar Sommerfeldt: I agree with Anna. This is too wide a term. "Utbildning" is not the same as a university. You get an "utbildning" at a university. If you don't want views, post a suitable translation instead (ref. your reply to Anna...)
1 hr
  -> I leave it to the Asker -- views can be interesting, although yours is rather impolite and contributes little or nothing.
