Modern Swedish has 2 genders and no longer conjugates verbs based on person or number. Its nouns have lost the morphological distinction between nominative and accusative cases that denoted grammatical subject and object in Old Norse in favor of marking by word order. Swedish uses some inflection with nouns, adjectives, and verbs.

Here is something interesting. The longest word in Swedish language is "Realisationsvinstbeskattning". It means "capital gains tax". This term counts 28 letters. It's just another thing that makes it harder to get through boring tax paperwork.
