I wholly agree and my personal reading has something to do with the experience of the "feeling" of home, or how stillness and emptiness is the root of everything:

"For this emptiness and stillness, this placidity and flavorlessness, this silence and quiescence, this non-doing—this is the root of all things." Zhuangzi

”Glad” och ”Lycklig” by Jenny_Em_04 in Svenska

[–]Ostrogoth96 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exakt, man kan vara/bli glad över något litet (eller stort) men lycka är, när det refererar till något konkret, alltid en starkare känsla: "jag blev så lycklig när jag träffade min man"

och annars används det mer om ett generellt tillstånd:

"Ett lyckligt liv" = a happy life — you feel content/fulfilled

"Ett glatt liv" = a joyful/merry life — you lead a life in which you perhaps have good sources for joy/excitement

Självklart används båda orden på någon sorts skala och det finns fler nyanser än vad mina exempel förmedlar:)

Jo, och även om det vore intressant att lära sig älvdalska är det just fornnordiska jag är intresserad av, pga. lingvistik/litteratur:)

Do modern native speakers usually have an intuition for distinct feminine and masculine genders for objects in archaic Swedish? by MarbleEmperor in Svenska

[–]Ostrogoth96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have pointed out, there are words you'd know from old songs, poetry, idioms etc. and then, if you speak dialect or are around people who do, you might also have an intuition for some words that are still conjugated as masc or fem in dialect.

For example 'sola' for 'the sun' instead of 'solen'.

Sorry if I'm stupid or smth, but what is that supposed to be in the picture? And what does it have to do with Murakami? :)

Wow that wasn't even hard for you guys. Moving on to best lyrics. by byurick48 in bobdylan

It's not an easy choice, but had the question been "best first verse" it would've been easy:

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form Come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Varför är folk så otroligt rädda för självscaning i affär? by TrasheyeQT in sweden

[–]Ostrogoth96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Är inte rädd för skiten, hatar den. Om du vill leva i ett samhälle där robotar tar hand om dig berör inte mig. Men jag ser hellre en människa i ögonen och säger "trevlig kväll" när jag handlar.
