"Kroppen var redan kall när de hittade den."

Translation: The body was already cold when they found it.

Dark, Duolingo. Dark.

[Zmrzlina]

Indeed. Reminds me of when I got "They didn't want to leave my prison" to translate from French once. Duo can be eerily creepy sometimes. :D

I don´t know....it´s pretty entertaining. I´m an English teacher, and when I write sentences for my students when we´re doing grammar, I always make them really gruesome....it keeps them awake!

Swedes are such a happy and positive bunch! I love you all, you're so humourous and upbeat! =D

[Beanybadger]

It's weird, but in Stockholm at least the Swedish people do seem to be way more talkative, upbeat and enigmatic than I am (introverted and british), and I even find that lack of personal space can be an issue for me. I do wonder where the cultural stereotype comes from...

Preparation for Scandinavian noir literature

Soldiers with only one hand, people hitting their head against the wall and now a cold, dead body. Is the rest of this lesson as sad/morbid as this part? :)

Swedish love for 'deckare' :)

[GlennaJo]

I put "deckare" into Google Translate and the translation was "Dick" (yes, it capitalized it even though the deckare was in lower case, go figure." I was glad to see the notation below giving different translations, putting it in context as dick has many and very diverse meanings at least in American English. ;-)

This is what you drive Duo to when you neglect your Swedish for too long.

This is actually taken from an episode of Beck

or really any other crime/detektiv show

CSI: Stockholm

[TheSeez]

Was it also cut into two and placed on the Öresundsbron right on the border?

[GeorgFIN]

Krop is normally body, but that is for living people. If you say that the the body was cold you should talk about the corps.

[thorr18]

corps is an army unit, not a body.

[jxxmxxj]

Right, corpse instead of corps.

[Arnauti]

Adding that 'a corpse' is ett lik in Swedish.
