How do you say this in Swedish? "The former and the latter"
- Swedish
- English (UK) Near fluent
Det förstnämnda och sistnämnda nämnda

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Swedish
You may leave out the final 'nämnda' and, but not necessarilly, add another 'det' before 'sistnämnda'. That's my opinion but beside that Benji's translation is spot on 👍

Det förra- the former
Det senare - the latter
Right or wrong?
- Swedish
That is actually the correct translation but you'd never put it that way unless you were asked a very specific question.
But Benji's answer above would be fine also, but again, only if the preceeding question or text was about something already spoken, like a list of arguments or options.
As standalone translation I'd say
'Det/den tidigare och det/den senare' sounds a bit more natural than using 'det/den förra'
Sometimes a translation is hard if you don't have the preceeding and/or the tailing parts

I don't know why that last "nämnda" is there. I mustn't have seen it
