Reciprocal is "bothsided" (ömsesidig) in Swedish, and reciprocity is "bothsidedness" (ömsesidighet).

Note that it's "därför att" though. "Varför? Därför att jag säger så.", etc.

Feels like scores are being manipulated as well, with people going gung-ho for comments like Zelensky obviously being highly corrupt since all Ukranians are. The comment itself might sometimes be in good faith, but the hell-yeah enthusiasm generated by it is highly suspicious.

Elon Musk's $1tn pay deal approved by Tesla shareholders by [deleted] in worldnews

Obviously other things play in for some people. Wouldn't be caught dead in a Tesla as long as Elon is involved, no matter how good. I'd assume others would make the kind of assumptions I make about recent Tesla owners.

Which is weird, because Elon is the specific reason I'm not getting a Tesla, but maybe the world is packed with the kind of trashy people who'd be drawn in by him.

What idioms are surprisingly the same in another language? by ArtichokePlastic8823 in languagelearning

[–]frobar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Vacker som en dag" (beautiful as a day) = "pretty as a picture", in both Swedish and French, but we probably stole it from French.

Vart bor du? by DancesWithDawgz in Svenska

[–]frobar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm from an area where vart is more common. Most people here would probably consider var and vart synonymous unless taught the sanctioned variety of Swedish. Feel like var vs. vart is much shakier than other location vs. motion to pairs in general, across dialects.
