Swearing in Swedish is easy. Knowing when, where and how to do it is harder.
How to Curse Like a Swede: The Standard Edition is an expanded, illustrated guide to Swedish swear words, useful phrases and the unwritten rules that surround them.
Discover what fan, jävlar, helvete and fy fan really mean-and why tone, timing and eye contact can completely change the message. Learn the safer alternatives, the dangerous expressions and how Swedes use the same words for anger, admiration, exhaustion and an ordinary Monday.
You will also learn:
- How to pronounce essential Swedish swear words
- How strong each expression really is
- When swearing is acceptable-and when it definitely is not
- How to build a convincing Swedish outburst
- Useful phrases for surviving everyday life in Sweden
- The cultural rules nobody remembers to explain
Dry, practical and slightly irresponsible, this book is for visitors, language learners, Sweden enthusiasts and anyone who has ever wanted to swear at an IKEA instruction manual properly.
Includes humorous illustrations, real-life situations and a final test to discover whether you can curse like a functional Swedish adult-or whether you are completely doomed.
Read. Laugh. Swear responsibly.
