"Sweden, twelve points!"

Translation: Sverige, tolv poäng!

[AaronQualtrough]

This was said a lot during Eurovision the other night.

[lebruit1]

As a Canadian, Eurovision is probably the thing that made me want to learn more (especially languages) about European cultures. It's all about terrible songs and glamourous dresses, but it can lead to awesome knowledge! :)

[Zmrzlina]

Canada should join too! I mean, Australia was in there last year, so... :D

[devalanteriel]

How does "poäng" decline?

[Arnauti]

It's one of those words that can be either en or ett.

en poäng
poängen
poänger
poängerna

or
ett poäng
poänget
poäng
poängen

For points as in sports or grading, it's always ett poäng and plural poäng, but for 'point' as in "You have a point", it's en poäng and plural poänger.

Tack som alltid, Arnauti

Mamma Mia!

[DmitryReve]

I have an armchair from IKEA called poäng. Does it really mean "point"? :)

[InvertedGo]

Ikea furniture is known (among other things) for its bizarre names.

[devalanteriel]

Yes, why wouldn't it? :)

[EldGyri1]

sverige, douze points
What have i done.
I had to write douze points, couldn't resist

[asarnoh]

There should be some extra points for this :D

[peerVal]

sports?

[devalanteriel]

poäng very much belongs to sports, I think it's fair game. :)
