minus-squaremurmelade@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoIn Swedish ‘skit’ (=shit) is a prefix added as emphasis to a lot of descriptions, can get pretty funny some times. For example ‘skitbra’ = shit good, ‘skitdåligt’ = shit bad, ‘skitlite’ = shit little, ‘skitmycket’ = shit a lot.
minus-squarex4740N@lemm.eeOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-24 months agoI read “skitmycket” as “suck my shit” at first because it sounds really close to that
minus-squareBigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoAs a Dane, I can attest that the suggested activity is already among the most popular of Swedish pastimes.
minus-squareneidu3@sh.itjust.worksMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoDame in Norway with “drit-”. It can also be used as a suffix indicating “thing” or “stuff”
minus-squaremurmelade@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoI’d love an example or two of the suffix use, I don’t think we do that in Swedish.
minus-squareneidu3@sh.itjust.worksMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoIt’s sometimes done when referring to a category or generalizing a noun, often in a derogatory way. I’m sure it works in Swedish too. Person 1: “Hva ble det til middag” Person 2: “Noe pastadrit…”
minus-squareAkasazh@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-24 months agoYou could do a short comedy routine about that. (Aka a skit)
minus-squareSanguinePar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoRe Skitbra, does that mean that “bra” is “good”? I ask because in parts of Scotland there’s the word “braw”, which has the same meaning. Wonder if there’s a connection there.
minus-squaremurmelade@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoYes, correct. That’s interesting, I’ve never heard anyone use braw.
minus-squareSanguinePar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-24 months agoIt’s widely used in Fife and possibly north of that. Don’t think it’s common in Glasgow or Edinburgh though. It gives us the saying, “It’s a braw, bricht, moonlicht, nicht” :-) EDIT: Apparently it’s from the French, brave, but the Swedish similarity is noted too :-)
