"All girls except me"

Translation: Alla flickor utom jag

[Ezkertia]

Looks like it's from the lyrics to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMBZmi_F6vA. I guess it will be more memorable now...

[Zmrzlina]

Well spotted! Have a lingot or three. ;)

[Ezkertia]

Tack så mycket!

[thmskngsly]

Yup! I did this sentence and immediately started singing that song!

[DrMicroChem]

This is great! I'm adding it to the "Mina Gyllene Skor" song (Herreys - Diggiloo Diggiley):

[AndreiFelix]

Yeah, that was my first thought :)

[CapdeBurro]

Is "utom mig" correct?

[Arnauti]

Yes, it is. Which one we should use depends on whether it's the subject or object in the phrase, and we can't know that in this case. More about this sentence here: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/5618745

[AGreatUserName]

So the song posted above has incorrect grammar. She sings Han ger alla flickor vad de vill ha ... alla flickor utom jag ... but it should be mig, right?

[Anrui]

Yes, the song lyrics are not entirely grammatically correct, but the sentence as such is not wrong.

[AshtonHarl1]

Tack så mig

[jennifer856684]

why jag and not mig?

[James704885]

Because Swedish is a particular language that does not like to be trifled with

[laurieahart]

Why not "utan mig"?

[AndreiFelix]

Utan means "without". Utom means "except".

[HulluNiilo]

The hover hint says to use "mig"

[James704885]

Never trust a hint. Duo is a lying owl.

[nphx2]

How about förutom?

[Biggy786177]

Ohhh, i switched except me with accept...

[Shev257678]

Why is it alla rather than allt? Tack

[CedSgm7N]

When I wrote "mig" instead of "jag" I was marked wrong. In English, we would not say "all the girls except I," so that is why the use of "jag" sounds strange to me.

[Demented_Echo]

I forgot some of my English except / accept. I could not understand why it was "utom" now I know why :P
