====Usage notes====
* ''Fakta'', though historically just a plural form of ''faktum'' (along with the zero plural ''faktum'' – see the declension tables below), is often used slightly differently, and is likely intuited as an entirely separate word by many native speakers:
** ''Fakta'' is often a better match than ''faktum'' for ''facts'' in the English sense. "Intressanta fakta" matches "interesting facts" in tone, whereas the tone of "intressanta faktum" is closer to "interesting things that are undeniably true or real." Compare the sports example above.
** ''Fakta'' is often intuited as a common-gender [[mass noun]]. Compare the law example above, where ''fakta'' is idiomatic despite there only being a single fact, and how ''fact'' is sometimes used like a mass noun in English as well ("It is fact, not fiction.") This intuition also means that both "intressant (singular) fakta" and "intressanta (plural) fakta" appear for "interesting facts" (though the former might be considered improper by some). Another consequence is that a definite {{m|sv|faktan}} (the fact-as-a-mass-noun / the facts) sometimes appears.
** Perhaps due to the differences outlined above, a single piece of factual information (in for example a report or news article) is often called a {{m|sv|faktauppgift}} rather than a {{m|sv|faktum}}.
* Turns into ''fakta-'' in compounds.
