Unsurprisingly, the same word in Swedish is skuld, with the same double meaning.

Dalmål (Dalecarlian) is from my understanding (and simplified) a bit of a continuum from Swedish to Elfdalian. The closer you get to Älvdalen the less intelligible it is for Swedish speakers.

I can, after spending some time there, understand some "moramål" (the variation spoken in and around Mora) but I have a much harder time understanding "orsamål" (same but around Orsa). Elfdalian is much less intelligible.

More likely that they wanted the names to sound similar rather than being equivalent, and it's not that often one translates place names.

I don't think it does that. You can try it yourself:

    >>> x = 123456
    >>> y = x
    >>> id(x)
    139871830996560
    >>> id(y)
    139871830996560

And since 3.8 the exponent can be negative, which lets you compute modular inverses without having to reimplement the extended Euclidean algorithm.

    >>> pow(5, -1, 13)
    8
    >>> 5 * 8 % 13
    1

For the front ones, maybe. But for the back ones Old Swedish went through "stora vokaldansen" (the great vowel dance) leading to "ut" (out) being pronounced /ʉːt/ rather than /uːt/.

I never have location services turned on and use bankid all the time.

Sounds like Vasaloppet, but rarer. It does have an organizer though, but still huge amounts of volunteers along and it's definitely an achievement just to complete it.

Sweden made the switch in 2019 I believe. It was the availability of computers and streaming that forced them to change things. Since people with computers could now watch the programming everything became more complicated.

A Chinese guy I knew was studying for the TOEFL test and was memorizing all kinds of medical terms I'd never heard about, and yet, when he said goodbye he'd also say "I go first". At that time I had no idea why he did it, but as I learned more Mandarin it became clear that he just translated the phrase 我先走 (lit. I first go) which is very common when parting ways.

Point being, many study for tests but can't speak English.

To reinforce your point, from a Swedish perspective. I've never seen or heard of Carrefour before. We used to have Spar[1] but those got replaced by other chains.

Lidl started showing up maybe 15 years ago and is everywhere by now. I don't think any town/city with more than 20k people is missing a Lidl.

Tesco I've only seen in the UK.

[1]: Spara means "to save" in Swedish, so I've always thought that Spar was from here. TIL it's not.

They're talking about "application projects" which I understood as actual programs, not libraries. As a user I don't care if the tools I'm using are written in C, Python or JS, so I shouldn't have to remember which package manager to use, Debian should include them all.

Or Swedish "västkustskt" (lit. west coast-ish), where "kustskt" is one syllable.

On-topic, I pronounce chmod as one syllable with "sh", like schmuck.

To expand a bit on that comment, 46% said that they would take the vaccine while 26% said that they wouldn't. The numbers in August were 36% and 37% respectively.

Yes.

I'd love to see a source for that. Just a couple of weeks ago there was an interview with a girl with narcolepsy on SVT (Swedish public broadcasting). This was regarding people being a bit wary of the new vaccines. I can't imagine them running a piece like that if it had been debunked.

Same in Sweden. Currently, 26% stated[1] that they do not want to be vaccinated. The issues with the swine flu vaccine are still fresh in our collective memory.

I didn't realize you could click it before this comment, thanks for that.

Interesting, igel is Swedish for leech (Egel in German). The Swedish word for hedgehog is instead igelkott. In short, Egel = igel and Igel != igel... TIL

Get a breed that fits you, your country's kennel club should have lots of information.

Don't listen to Cesar Millan, his methods are outdated (like 50 years behind current science IIUC). Focus on positive reinforcement, you want to have fun with your dog, not dominate it.

Do things in different environments to make your dog comfortable and have confidence (e.g. go to both city centers and the forest). Also, if you have time for it, pick up an activity like agility (super fun, we do it a lot) or nose work. It helps both you, your dog and strengthens your bond.

There is definitely science behind training and dog behavior, but I can only give you pointers in Swedish unfortunately.

Definitely and to add to that, to my understanding (better than basic, far from fluent), 是 is more of a fallback verb following the same pattern than it is a translation of "yes".

Isn't Mandarin a typical example without yes and no? You answer affirmatively but repeating the verb and negatively by negating the verb.

(it's not really that simple, but it illustrates the point)

Vasaru?

I don't think the point is that it would sound like "huh" in all languages, but rather that there is a word used like "huh" in all languages. "Va" definitely fits, as you even said "we have 'va'", proving the point of the article.

I agree, I'm happy that I managed to buy two courses with books and mp3s before they switched to the online version.

Went to school in Sweden too in the 90-00s. I wasn't taught long division until I had to divide polynomials in my last year of high school, and that course was an elective.
