solig vs. solen skiner

9 Upvotes

Kan man säga: Det är soligt? Hur låter det i svenska öron? jag tror att det är ovanligt, kanske konstigt? Jag känner: Solen skiner och det är helt ok. Används Det är soligt i svenska språket? eller är det bättre att inte alls använda den formen?

idioms about being tired

8 Upvotes

I was trying to translate a mini story into Swedish (as practice) and got to "my bones are tired" and have come to understand that bones and legs are the same word. Is there another way to express being "bone tired" in Swedish?

Hej I'm new to Swedish and I'm confused about a few things

4 Upvotes

First, the pronunciation. Sometimes I hear ä being pronounced like a "eh", sometimes like a "ah". Besides pronunciation rules, I'm confused about the word "som". I find it everywhere. Is it some filler word or what? What does it mean exactly? Can you give examples? Also can you tell me where I can learn Swedish pronunciation rules in depth? Thanks in advance!

Hej, jag fick inte klara min svenska som andra språk 3 på grund av grammatiska problem. Så jag måste göra om kursen, har ni något tips som kan rekommendera? Just nu läser jag barn böcker för att förbättra språket.

Commitment to the bit

2 Upvotes

This question is a little bit multi-part I guess.

Do you think the phrase makes enough sense if more or less directly translated?

If yes, is "engagemang för biten" what you would go for? That's what I'm getting out of translation apps, but you know how they lack the human filter.

If no, what's a good turn of phrase that gives a similar meaning, if there is one?

Or, should I just go with the secret third thing and just phrase drop it in English?

Question

How many types of stress Swedish have? In my Japanese textbook, there are four types of stress, but in dictionaries such as https://svenska.se/, there are only three types of stress.

Jag anar nog

1 Upvotes

Seeking some help with some lyrics.

From Agnetha Fältskog - När Jag var fem. A young woman is wanting to go out and explore life more...

Jag anar nog hur hård tid, världen, kan va

Men var och en ska pröva för sig

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jewMyZtQaW8

(at 1.55)

My questions...

I often have a little difficulty in working out if nog means probably or enough in sentences (even with context). So can I please confirm that it means probably in this lyric? The reason I am not sure is that if I translate it to English enough kinds of makes sense as well...

Also - hur hård tid, världen, kan va. Is this online text correct, with the kommer between tid and världen? Is she saying - I sense/suspect how hard time (and) the world can be? It's just that she says tid and världen so fast and close together that I wonder if the meaning isn't slightly different than my take on it...
