"Älgen sover i natt."

Translation: The moose is sleeping tonight.

[Alexander_Rais]

På skogen, den mäktiga skogen, älgen sover i natt.

I came here to find this....

There is actually a Swedish translation of the song! It goes:

Mitt i djungeln, den stora djungeln
Där sover lejonen

Which is easy to change to moose just going for "skogen" and "älgarna" instead. :D

And by the way, forests aren't really considered mighty in Swedish. Mäktig is used with actual power or sometimes with very rich desserts. :)

The mighty chocolate mousse. I like it. (And thanks for the correction!)

[Gnurfel]

The mighty chocolate moose! =)

This thread right here... This is why Swedish is the best course. First det regnar män and now this.

Could you tell me the difference between djungeln and skogen please? I've seen skog- before in some History papers (as skóggang and skogamaðr) but never djungeln.

[JYH6UtXB]

Could be wrong so might need corroboration, but I think 'djungeln' is jungle and 'skogen' is forest. Lions live in jungles and moose live in forests. :)

[90skidwithguitar]

Oh, that makes a lot of sense! Tack tack.

[makmegs]

Why haven't we been taught "the LION sleeps tonight?"

[Zmrzlina]

Moose are the kings in the North! All hail Moose!

[CarlSailor]

Norden har ingen kung men nordens kungen som heter älg!

The north knows no king but the king in the north whose name is moose!

[person222222]

Could this also mean "The moose sleeps at night" As in, the moose in an animal that is active during the day and sleeps at night?

[Zmrzlina]

No, in that case you'd use "på natten"

[ShFk14]

Bra

[JuanBaer]

In the village, the swedish village, the moose sleeps tonight

[MichaelDav835885]

Is inatt synonmous with ikväll?

[devalanteriel]

No, natt always refers to the night, and kväll always to the evening.

[deactivated user]

sounds like "Alien sober enough"

[JYH6UtXB]

"Lejonet sover i kväll..." It's not as good as the moose/elk sleeping in the mighty forest, but...
