minus-squaremurmeladelinkfedilinkEnglish5•3 days agoIn Swedish ‘skit’ (=shit) is a prefix added as emphasis to a lot of descriptions, can get pretty funny some times. For example ‘skitbra’ = shit good, ‘skitdåligt’ = shit bad, ‘skitlite’ = shit little, ‘skitmycket’ = shit a lot.

minus-squareSanguineParlink2•3 days agoRe Skitbra, does that mean that “bra” is “good”? I ask because in parts of Scotland there’s the word “braw”, which has the same meaning. Wonder if there’s a connection there.
minus-squaremurmeladelinkfedilinkEnglish2•3 days agoYes, correct. That’s interesting, I’ve never heard anyone use braw.
minus-squareSanguineParlink3•edit-23 days agoIt’s widely used in Fife and possibly north of that. Don’t think it’s common in Glasgow or Edinburgh though. It gives us the saying, “It’s a braw, bricht, moonlicht, nicht” :-) EDIT: Apparently it’s from the French, brave, but the Swedish similarity is noted too :-)

minus-squaremurmeladelinkfedilinkEnglish2•3 days agoI’d love an example or two of the suffix use, I don’t think we do that in Swedish.
minus-square@[email protected]MlinkfedilinkEnglish2•3 days agoIt’s sometimes done when referring to a category or generalizing a noun, often in a derogatory way. I’m sure it works in Swedish too. Person 1: “Hva ble det til middag” Person 2: “Noe pastadrit…”
minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilink1•edit-23 days agoI read “skitmycket” as “suck my shit” at first because it sounds really close to that

Ah I see what you mean now. Yes, we do that too.
