Learn How to Use Quotation Marks in Finnish and Swedish

In Finnish and Swedish, right quotes are used to mark both the beginning and the end of a quote. They are referred to as typographical quotes to distinguish them from straight quotes. This usage also translates to angular quotes (sometimes used in magazines), although recently, the notation »…« has won acceptance as well.
