The silicon chip inside her head was switched to overload

[DaveisShawesome]

I came here for this

[Gnurfel]

Side note: Few people know this but sadly the song "I don't like Mondays" was inspired by a tragic school shooting in 1979. While the song does not glorify the shooting, you'll probably never hear it the same way again.

[Giska91]

Garfield, är det du?

[Zmrzlina]

Interestingly, Garfield is named Gustav in Swedish translation.

[Jon_H_Martin]

How regal

[Schwze]

katten Gustav to be more precise. And the only shop who sell the comics ( swedish ) version on line do not deliver outside of Scandinavia :-(

[Etienne_dAout]

Gustav, är det du?

[quadrin]

You beat me to it

[LolaValentine]

I can relate to this.

[RLRTB]

Mondays aren't so bad, it's your job that sucks

[Kuniron]

they are

[Sven-Ska]

I put I don't like Mondays as I know you like a song title or two in here... ;-)

[MonicaBaha1]

Mondays are mundane :)

[PaulArvo]

Genius work

[glaagafragadu]

Neither do I, Duo. Neither do I.

[daguipa]

Du hatar inte måndagar, du hatar kapitalism

[SimonU1234]

Is this our philosoph Slavoj Žižek? Also the phrase would suit him ...

[jaglarmigsvenska]

Why they say 'tycker inte om' in stead of 'tycker om inte' ?

[Jan-Olav]

The negation 'inte' comes immediately after the verb.

[jaglarmigsvenska]

thanks for the clear explanation :-)

[Rolf778527]

Is it also right that om comes directly before the object?

[devalanteriel]

Yes and no - for normal phrases, that's the case. But it's easy to construct phrases that put other phrases inbetween.

[Rolf778527]

thank you! i thought it could be a prepositional phrase but it's an particle verb, isn't it?
can you give me an example sentence where the some thing is between om and the object? thank you!

[devalanteriel]

It is indeed a particle or at least phrasal verb (the line between them is a bit blurry). A few examples:

• Jag tycker inte om att ta hand om disken (verb phrase contains object)
• Jag tycker inte om gröna varulvar (adjective precedes object)

For longer sentence, it gets a bit more convoluted.

[Rolf778527]

well, technically in the second phrase, the adjective is part of the object, so "om" is still directely before the object (like english "on the big table" "on" is directely befor the object "the big table") and in the first sentence the whole "att ..." infinitive construnction would be considered the object. but thank you anyway, I got the idea :-)

[elrolfo]

I wanna shoot ooh ooh ooh

Garfield has entered the chat

[littleporo1]

Came here for this comment, I am satisfied.

[hoyunmyoun]

'Monday Sickness' på svenska?

[Zmrzlina]

I don't know if there is a recognized translation, but I suppose you could call it måndagsångest.

[hoyunmyoun]

Tack! Det hjälper.

[tontonjf]

Am I the only one here who is old enough to remember this?

[devalanteriel]

The second highest rated comment in this thread is about that song... :)

[tontonjf]

Ooops! Indeed, now that you say it, it appears clearly...

[Diebbro]

I haven't noticed that until now, but how doesn't "Tycker om" translate to "dislike"?

[Zmrzlina]

No, "tycka om" means "to like"

[Diebbro]

I think I didn't write the question properly. (it was 9 am) :p
What I meant to say was "how doesn't tycker INTE om translate to dislike?"
'Cus it translates to "don't like", you know...

[Arnauti]

tycker inte om means 'does not like', but dislikes is ogillar, there's a difference.

[Asad098]

Hi Arnauti,
Could you please define that why we could not use ingen instead of inte?
Thank you in advance.

[JacekWiesz]

And exactly when I got this sentence the radio plays "Tell me why I don't like Mondays". On a Sunday evening.
