Usage notes
- This pronoun is also used as an adjective and noun.
- Swedish dictionaries SAOB and SAOL don't connect this pronoun mången, månget, många (“many”) to the adjectives fler (“more”) and flest (“most”), even though most (non-linguist) native speakers of Swedish consider them as forms of the same adjective.
