    As I said, garlic is called “vitlök”, not “vit lök”

    “Vit lök” means “white onion”, and does not exist

      Given what you wrote, my question makes sense. Not sure why I was downvoted for a reasonable question.

        Because I just explained it and even noted the spacing difference between “vitlök” and “vit lök”

          You didn’t explain it originally. You could have easily but you didn’t. Apologies for being curious. I do know that most Swedes aren’t jerks.

            I try to not be a jerk, and this is what I wrote in my inital comment in this thread.

            we group onions and garlic together by using the word “lök” with a color and different spacing to differentiate them:

            So yes, I did mention the spacing

              No one said you didn’t.

              “vitlök” - garlic

              We never talk about “vit lök”, it doesn’t really exist as a concept in Swedish, but we have more types of “lök”…

              You did not define what it means with the space though, and you were kind of arrogant when I asked.

              Not to mention it doesn’t really make sense to say there is a term for something that doesn’t exist. Which btw does exist. Most onions are white. So either get better at explaining or have patience with a question. I actually wanted to know. I intended to come across in a joking way because I obviously know garlic is used worldwide these days.

                Your inital question was about us not having garlic in Sweden, when I litterarly wrote that in my inital post, hence the downvote, I even explained the difference the spacing makes in the reply to you.

                Then you started whining about downvotes…

                  Whatever dude. I know what happened and I stand firm you’re a jerk. Tagged as such, and I won’t make the mistake with you again

                  Ps you are terrible at explanations and understanding another perspective

            You’re really taking this personally. Was your grandpappy an onion or something?

                  What about unsolicited nosy opinions? Do I have your permission to dislike those?

                    You can dislike them but I’d perhaps avoid Internet discussion forums.
