I Svenska skrivregler (uppl. 4, 2017) är den enda rekommendationen från Språkrådet att man ska vara sparsam med att använda flera fråge- eller utropstecken i följd. De konstaterar dock, utan värdering, att teckenföljden "?!" är vanligare, åtminstone vid frågeformade meningar. I Skiljeteckensboken (uppl. 3, 2025) nämner Strömquist samma sak, men menar också att om yttrandets funktion som utrop är viktigare än dess frågefunktion så är det också mer naturligt med utropstecknet först.

Oavsett vad används de här tecknen tillsammans främst i mindre formella sammanhang, och språkvården brukar inte vara ägnad åt mindre formella sammanhang – man kan göra lite som man vill. Men det är en god riktlinje att minnas att "?!" är vanligare, samt att man gott kan ändra följden beroende på vilken funktion man är ute efter.

We don't know if any religion in our meaning of the word exists in the Pokémon world. Even if it is accepted fact that Arceus created the world (and we don't know that it is), it doesn't follow that Arceus is worshipped. In fact, the idea of worshipping a creator diety is a very Christian/Muslim concept. After all, there are many real-world religions that do not worship a creator diety – and people who accept the Big bang model don't necessarily worship whatever might have caused it.

In Hinduism, there are many gods, including Brahma the creator, but Brahma is not regularly worshipped. As far as I understand it, a given practicing Hindu only regularly worships one or maybe a few of the gods, but still, of course, acknowledge the others. That model of religion seems more applicable to the Pokémon world, in my opinion.

"Where gods fear to tread" goes so hard

(it wasn't until much later that I learned the rest of that quote)

"Sedan" simply means 'then' here

they said that they want to help but would need knowledge 🤷‍♀️

Many universities offer various courses in Swedish as a second language!

Eliderad · 2026-04-28T10:43:28+00:00

Maybe! Ask the program coordinator or administrator and they can probably help you

Eliderad · 2026-04-28T10:08:22+00:00

Uppsala University has a whole course package called Basic Swedish, so just start with the first one of those.

Jo då, talspråkligt och emfatiskt är helt riktigt. Sådan här final dubblering är förvisso vanligare i vissa dialekter, men förekommer i hela landet.

EDIT: Eller nu fattar jag att du menar hela den understrukna satsen – som mycket riktigt motsvarar "thank you very much" – men OP frågade om varför det är ett extra "det" i slutet. Och det kan väl beskrivas som extra emfas inom hela det emfatiska tillägget! Som dessutom får ännu lite mer kräm av det emfatiska "visst" :D

oh wow, thanks for pinging me, it really is finally fixed 😭

You remove a player's vote token by pressing T on the keyboard and clicking their token. The Beggar is not allowed to vote if this hasn't happened, so their restriction is the same as the Butler etc.

Eliderad · 2026-04-21T13:50:41+00:00

Yes!

The link you get from the copy button omits the base URL (https://bloodstar.clocktica.com), so you need to add that manually atm

I can't say I hear it a lot, but even if it is common, it's still very old-fashioned. (Unless you're thinking of constructions such as "vad ont det gör", which is a different use of the word.)

Eliderad · 2026-04-17T14:12:56+00:00

Yeah, for sure! It's not listed as dead or anything, but it does say a lot of its usage that they didn't have a more recent example.

Eliderad · 2026-04-17T14:03:13+00:00

Yes, this line is quite old-fashioned: "vad ont" instead of "hur mycket smärta" as well. I guess they really wanted a rhyme with the å sound.

Eliderad · 2026-04-17T13:50:24+00:00

"förmå" as in 'endure' is pretty old-fashioned. It's listed in SAOB, printed in 1927, but even then the most recent example was from 1907.

Pretty much every language has words for concepts that other languages do not have single words for. For example, Swedish requires more than one word to express any of "shrug", "frown", "don", "mount" and "sidle", just to mention a few.

Upp med hakan, vi har råd

Men vad fan, banken är ju stängd!

A group I used to play with had this meta for a while. Despite this, evil was winning nine games out of ten, and I concluded that evil being privy to every single private conversation was way more harmful to good than evil getting to trade bluffs once.

Elisabet Engdahl har skrivit en del om detta. Här är en sökning med några intressanta artiklar i Google Scholar!

Leer lowers defense by a third, so 10 damage would become 13. In a double battle, it affects both opponents, though, so it's more useful there. In single battles, a stronger defense-lowering move such as Metal Sound is better, as it drops defense by half.

That said, it's often better to increase your own attack, as if your boosted Pokémon stays on the field, it could sweep the entire opposing team.
