(In English below.)
Eftersom det inte finns nÃ¥gon korrekt motsvarighet till ordet â€Âbildning†i engelskan, kan jag bara ställa denna frÃ¥ga pÃ¥ svenska.
Finns det nÃ¥got latinskt uttryck som motsvarar â€Âbildning är det som stannat kvar när man glömt vad det var man lärde sigâ€Â?
The Swedish word "bildning" means education, but not in the sense that refers tho superficial knowledge. It means the growth of your character and personality as a result of education. I can't find an equivalent word in English, but the German word "Bildung" seems to be close if not equivalent.
I would like to find a Latin expression for the following: "'Bildning' is what is left when that which was actually learned is forgotten."

Thanks for tour prompt answer. I’ll try to translate this into English allthough there is no English word equivalent to the Swedish word ’bildning’. ’Bildning’ means educated, but not in the sense that refers tho superficial knowledge. ’Bildning’ in Swedish means the growth of your carachter and personality as a result of education. Since I can’t find an equivalent word it mat be difficult for non-Swedish to translate the following sentence into Latin as ’bildning’ is the key word of the whole Idea.

It seems like a close parallel to German "Bildung," which many English speakers are familiar with, e.g. a "Bildungsroman."

The hardest task is to find a good Latin word or other expression for "bildning".
I suggest intellegentia (also spelled intelligentia).
It refers to understanding as opposed to knowledge, and I believe that is what the Swedish word is all about.
(I believe it is essentially synonymous with the Finnish "sivistys".)
The linked dictionary entry gives translations like the power of discerning or understanding, discernment, understanding, intelligence, understanding, knowledge, art, skill, taste, connoisseurship, perception, discernment.
It is not a perfect match, but the best I could find.
The verb discere (to learn) does not seem to have a past participle, so I will use docere (to teach) instead.
The phrasing gets clumsy without participles.
I suggest:
Intellegentia est quod remanet omnia docta oblito.
Literla translation:
'Intellegentia' is what remains for the one who has forgotten everything that was taught.
Other words to consider besides intellegentia: eruditio, scientia, cognitio, virtus, cultus, cultura.
You can check these out in any online Latin dictionary and see if they seem better to you.

I do not know Swedish, but I assume that bildning is one of the many West-Germanic loanwords in Swedish. The classical Latin equivalent of German Bildung is cultus, or cultus animi. Cultus is "education" but a bit more too. It is the state of character of an educated person.
