"Svaret är nej."

Translation: The answer is no.

[ferretchere]

Most useful phrase yet!

[lagolas2010]

Especially when it comes to the question "Talar du svenska?"

[LemonStairs]

Why you gotta be so rude

[bijinhakumei]

Don't you know I'm human too

[exqeriment]

Why you gotta be so rude? You know what, marry her anyway

[person222222]

Vet inte du jag människa (too). [ I think that's right..

[sotnosen93]

"Vet du inte att jag också är mänsklig". Though I'd say "Vet du inte att jag också är en människa" ("Don't you know I'm a human too") would sound better in Swedish.

[CyberPillow]

Hahaha

[Piotrapick]

Even TTS sounds depressed reading this

[N1ckHD]

Make sure you don't confuse it with "svart" which means "black" !

[RocksintheLake]

And svårt which means difficult

[stockholmer]

Too late :( haha

[RocksintheLake]

So svart=black. Svar=answer. And svårt=difficult. I love swedish. Don't know why

[29brodi]

"the answer's no" .. my shortcut attempt failed =P

[stkelley]

Does this have the same aggressive/annoyed connotation as in English or would this just as readily replace "Nej" alone as an answer?

[Keeforossi]

This definitely has the feel of an annoyed parent to it!! :D

[MoRhafJamm]

Agree

[Zmrzlina]

Well, I guess it's contextual. But it does sound a bit passive-aggressive, yeah.

[genghse]

this seems awfully like a direct google translation. is this how local people say it?

[sotnosen93]

It sure is. Sometimes there are no grammar tricks to watch out for, just a straight translation.

[Sarah21189]

I thought the answer was "blowin' in the wind" =P

[EsperantoEddie]

What is the difference between "inge" and "nej"

[devalanteriel]

• nej is no as in the opposite of yes: "No, that's wrong"
• ingen / inget (for en-words / ett-words in the singular) is no as in the opposite of one: "I have no idea"
• inga is the same as for ingen / inget but for plurals

And Inge is a man's name, but not a word. :)

[Savannah_831_]

Thank you for this

[Quteck]

That's interesting, in Dutch Inge is a common female name.

[devalanteriel]

Inga is the female equivalent. :)

[Dim-ond-dysgwr]

I could have sworn she said: Svaret är "mig" (The answer is "me").

[AntiSpoofed]

Now I know the best way to say no to others (who don't understand Swedish)

[Dirkrol.]

...and i didnt readed the "e"

[lagolas2010]

the second and the third forms of the verb "read" is "read" and "read". And you use the first form after "did" as well as after "do"

[ZaynMathew]

The answer translates to svaret or svaren?In the last question it translates to svaren.Why is that

[devalanteriel]

• svaret = the answer
• svaren = the answers

[kippy-burrite]

Alternative answer should be "nej"

[sotnosen93]

No, because that only translates one third of the sentence.
