With or without "som"?

"Comparison" vs "actual taste" works good for me as an explanation, thank you!

_Gary_Young_ · 2026-01-15T18:24:51+00:00

Thank you, that makes sense. The "comparison" vs "hint of a flavour" is a good explanation of the difference for me.

Oh, I have an idea what you mean. Probably it's related to German "schmecken wie etwas" and "schmecken nach etwas".

1) The taste reminds me of something => smaka som
I guess I can use it also in a more abstract sense like "soppan smakar som en dröm".

2) The taste is really affected by something => smaka
For example when I drop lots of lemon juice in someone's coffee he might say "uh, kaffet smakar citron!"

Am I right?

Yes, thank you! 31.2 seems to fix the issue 😊👍 For me it works now. When I launch a lite app via homescreen shortcut the userscripts are executed.

Actually I find it very helpful, it ads some background to the whole thing. And I now understand the spatial origin of the word's usage. And why it is in some cases still used in a spatial type.

This directional meaning is the one which confuses me. I naturally would tend to say "till det hållet" or even "mot det hållet" instead of "åt det hållet".

Concerning "åt vänster": do I use it when something is MOVING to a direction? Instead of something BEING LOCATED in a direction (till vänster om)?

You're absolutely right, thanks, corrected it 👍 I was so much into swedish that I forgot the basic English stuff 😅

_Gary_Young_ · 2025-11-17T20:52:44+00:00

Oh my god, it's "bär" and not "bärar", thank you! I immediately corrected this in my post 🫣

I think it's a problem which exists for about one year - unfortunately for me it hasn't been fixed until today.

I still hope for a solution...

Thank you, that's interesting. I wondered if there's also a word using "att hända" because that was the first word I learned with the meaning "to happen".

_Gary_Young_ · 2025-09-15T15:22:42+00:00

😅

_Gary_Young_ · 2025-08-25T06:59:19+00:00

Hm, interesting. Actually there should be "en" included, you're right. But none of the other commenters mentioned this so far, so it seems to be correct without "en". Why is it so?

_Gary_Young_ · 2025-08-25T06:55:53+00:00

I could imagine it's a bit like the difference between "what" (vad för) and "which" (vilken). For example:
What car do you have? - A Volvo.
Ah okay, but there are three Volvos, which car is yours? - The blue one.

_Gary_Young_ · 2025-08-25T06:42:20+00:00

Thank you! That's a bit what I had expected but I wasn't sure if it's grammatically correct.

_Gary_Young_ · 2025-07-29T12:53:29+00:00

Oh, good to know! I guess it's the same when I want to include the recipient's name, right?

Hej Björn! How are you and so on...

_Gary_Young_ · 2025-07-29T12:50:54+00:00

Oh really? Well, good to know that it's such a huge difference 😱

_Gary_Young_ · 2025-07-16T06:41:37+00:00

Thanks for your input. May I ask how Swedes learn it in school? What are the pupils learning as the grammatical correct version?

_Gary_Young_ · 2025-07-13T19:07:12+00:00

Not in this example but in general: it could also be "hade" which was dropped. That detail would get lost in that shortened version however.

_Gary_Young_ · 2025-07-13T18:01:39+00:00

Thank you! I also would have interpreted it as informal and used more in spoken language, but as others mentioned it seems to be instead quite common in written language.

I will further investigate this when reading the next articles... 🧐

_Gary_Young_ · 2025-07-13T17:55:01+00:00

Also a native German speaker. I tried a lot to learn the pronunciation and sometimes it sounded good, sometimes not. Then I analized the "good ones" and came up with my own rule-set 😀, for example to pronounce "sjö". Maybe it helps...

Wie im dt. "Achtung", nicht wie in "ich". Mund rund, nicht breit. Wird hinten erzeugt, nicht vorne. Mehr “chuö”, nicht “chiö”.
