It's different, it depends on who you are talking about, if it is your fathers parents you are talking about it's called:

Farmor = grandma

Farfar = grandpa

If it is your mother's parents:

Mormor = grandma

Morfar = grandpa

It's really simple, mother is called "Mor" and father is called "Far" so you just put the two together "Fathers mother" = Farmor :)

That depends entirely on which side of the family they are one. The Swedish system is the easiest and most exact way of explaining how the person relates to the family. For example: your grandmother on mothers side (your mother's mother) is in Swedish called 'mormor'. However, a grandmother on your father's side (your father's mother) would be called 'farmor'. Same goes for grandfathers: a morfar or farfar. So, a great grandmother or great grandfather, could be a morfarmor and a farmorfar. There are eight options, again all depending how the person relates to the family.

NB: 'far' is pronounced far, 'mor' with a 'mo' like in 'move'.
