Could anybody who is proficient in Swedish tell me if there are any errors, grammatical or stylistic, in the following poem:
Jag bor i Estland, Naturligtvis är det ett bra land. Här är många kossor och fiskar och nassar också. Oi, förlåt, varför är det land så klen? Nå, det är många mäktiga landar i närheten, Till exempel Ryssland och Tyskland jodå, Och glöm aldrig: Sverige. Men nu är vi mycket ivrig, Vår land så fantastiskt ljuvlig. Vår hjärter består av dygdiga guld, länge leve Estland! Thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img] |

Well, I made the following changes. Someone will probably come along and correct me later.
Jag bor i Estland, Naturligtvis är det ett bra land. Här finns många kossor och fiskar och grisar(?)* också. Oj, förlåt, varför är vårt land så klent? Nå, det finns många mäktiga länder i närheten, Till exempel Ryssland och Tyskland, jodå, och glöm aldrig: Sverige. Men nu är vi mycket ivriga, Vårt land är så fantastiskt ljuvligt. Våra hjärtan består av dygdigt guld, länge leve Estland! *"Nassar" is slang for neonazis and I think you were trying to say pigs? Some sentences are a bit unusual but they work. EDIT: Well it's a start anyways. EDIT2: Bithron, do you agree with my changes? You are from Sweden right? [ 05-07-2006, 08:21 AM: Message edited by: bjorn ]

Same thing goes with "kossor"; the more formal word would be "kor".

I've never heard anyone refer to pigs as "nassar" but that may be a dialectal thing, I know that it can mean piggies but not to me.

Khmm, quite a few flaws. I expected as much. I created this with my 0.8 years knowledge of Swedish plus an Internet dictionary.
![]() Aanyway, as one might suspect, it's for school. We have to create a poem about Estonia. The content might be slightly lame, but that's okay - I don't really wish to use too much time on such silly tasks anyway. [img]tongue.gif[/img] In any case, thanks a lot. [img]smile.gif[/img] |
