minus-squareSanguineParlink2•2 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•2 days agoYes, correct. That’s interesting, I’ve never heard anyone use braw.
minus-squareSanguineParlink3•edit-22 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 :-)
