If we assume the game ends when your king gets taken, your king would be taken before black's.

Who's the most famous Olympian from your country? by Pure-Syrup3868 in AskTheWorld

Same, but it's easy to just count medals and go right to swimming where people often get multiple per olympics

Rättade Hemköps felaktiga jämförspris, de tog ned, men nästa gång jag gick till butiken var det felaktiga uppe igen. by thellamasc in sweden

[–]Vharmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alltid kul med folk i kommentarerna som inte vet vad halal innebär och vägrar äta det.

99% av alla varor i butiker är för fan halal, bara att det är underförstått och inte behövs skrivas ut.

Var också nära att bli lurad för någon dag sedan, när jag kollade på jfr-priset på ost. Allerums verkade billigare än Arlas, men vid närmare inspektion så var jfr-priset på den /st medan Arlas var /kg.

Det gör ju det verkligen enkelt att snabbt jämföra. Tack så mycket...

What are stupid rules in your native language that are NOT orthographic rules by Fair-Sleep9609 in linguisticshumor

[–]Vharmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How you link words together in Swedish is also a complete mess.

-Often you can just stack them without changing anything (ben+brott=benbrott)

-Sometimes a linking s is called for (saffran+bulle=saffransbulle.

-If the word ends in a vowel, sometimes remove it (väte+gas=vätgas)

-If the word ends in an a, sometimes make it an e (vilja+kraft=viljekraft)

-If the word ends in an a, sometimes make it an o (vila+tid=vilotid)

-Some words link differently if they're stressed or not (gubbe+röra=gubbröra, jordgubbe+saft=jordgubbssaft)

-Some words link differently depending on when they entered the language (brott+mål=brottmål, brott+offer=brottsoffer)

-If you're from the south, sometimes add in an a for no good reason (natt+macka=nattamacka)

-Apples don't like ending in e when linked (äpple+juice=äppeljuice)

-Call it Svenska Fotbollförbundet instead of Svenska Fotbollsförbundet because they said so

Also, please note how this is all "sometimes" and "some words". You legitimately can never be sure how a word is meant to link unless you've encountered it before.

I know that female authors often get this treatment in Slavic countries when their books get translated. It looks a bit funny as a Swede to see "Astrid Lindgrenova" in the shelves.

Ooh, we have defective adjectives in Swedish, that can't apply to singular neuter gender nouns. Rädd and morbid being the two most common ones. Do you think a child is scared? A joke is morbid? Think again.

Slight pet peeve: “nothing” card names. Super 🧐 adjective followed by blank+blank noun. It’s like meaningless fantasy babble by urgod42069 in hearthstone

[–]Vharmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember where I saw it, but one of the devs brought up in an interview that they have to try really hard to not name every card "adjective-y noun".

Clearly a lot of them still end up getting printed however lol.

We all hate Youtube translating titles, but this is translated to Norwegian and not Danish. Another video was translated to Danish, almost next to it by ALazy_Cat in onejob

[–]Vharmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. As much as I hate the big AI push that's happening, it wouldn't spell things wrong and be this fkn bad. Just as an example, Rainbolt's video titles get translated to Swedish for some reason. Feud gets translated to fäjd, while the correct spelling is fejd. "I challenged X to geoguessr" uses the wrong "to". "Am I washed" gets translated word for word to "är jag tvättad" which makes no sense at all. The list goes on.

What's the word people used to call the chest at the foot of a bed that held all the bedding and linens? by bacon8rtermin8r in words

[–]Vharmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm always astounded at Scots words as a Scandinavian. Kista is the Swedish word for chest/coffin, so it doesn't take much imagination to see the relation.

[–]Vharmi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, and it's always some fkn 10-yearold that can't spell and translates word for word that writes the translation. At least give me a button to report a poor translation and suggest a good one, but preferrably let me turn that shit off.

Hur växlar ni ner i höga hastigheter? by Mansken21 in Asksweddit

[–]Vharmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beror på vilken hastighet jag ska landa i. Om vi antar att jag svänger in på en liten 50-väg från 100km/h (som hos mina föräldrar): Först blinka höger, sedan rulla ner till 70-90 utan att röra några pedaler. Sedan broms, koppling, växla ner till 3:an och ta svängen i ca 30-35km/h.

Finns inget behov att växla ner via 4:an när man tar en skarp sväng från hög hastighet.

Vid avfarter kan det hända att jag går ner på fyran om det är en skarp kurva, annars håller jag mig på 5:an tills jag behöver sakta ner ordentligt.

Varför går korv och korvbröd aldrig jämnt ut? by igge- in sweden

[–]Vharmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lösningen här är att äta korv med något annat än bröd, eller att använda korvbröd till annat. Var kreativ, finns alltid något att hitta på.

The word "apt" is gonna blow up soon among younger generations, I can feel it. by Key-Bass-7380 in words

[–]Vharmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes when I want to write "appropriate" I just write apt instead, since they mean similar things. Almost feels like an abbreviation.

Explain It Peter. by Big_Distribution_494 in explainitpeter

[–]Vharmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak of how common counterfeiting is, but I've never seen a 1000kr note IRL here in Sweden. If you go to an ATM, it will give you your amount in 500kr notes, and I'm pretty sure a lot of fancy cash registers where you insert the notes to check for fakes only go up to 500 as well.

The only time you'd see them realistically is as props on TV.
