"Problemet är att du är för ful."

Translation: The problem is that you are too ugly.

[legatrix]

Useful sentence when interviewing people

[km1]

I think this one is more useful in daily life, but I fear I will confuse ful and full.

"Problemet är att du är för full."

[Cocio_16]

that's what i did... >_<

[shirki]

Great sentence to memorize when trying to impress Swedes, too.

[SKWARDOL]

Useful indeed. You can use it on your daily conversation.

[Ayy.its.lily]

Trueeee

[hdcanis]

Nordic people, known for their frankness and straightforwardness of communication.

[Baba7249]

I thought the usual cliche about Swedes is that they are passive-aggressive rather than "frank" and "straightforward"? Personally, having moved here after a few years in NL, I find them wonderfully polite for the most part :-)

[MaryBeth378619]

So that is were I get this passive aggressive stuff from.. Thanks. He he.

[MattStylianidis]

You have the wrong impression that's germans

[Vithralas]

Yeah, it's called honesty, there's no point on losing time saying the same in 2 whole pages :D

[ViolentRed]

Every once in a while guys you make me laugh out loud to myself.... It is too funny :) You get so focused on the translation bit, that when you do comprehend what is being said it just cracks you up... Jag älskar duolingo!

[Sarah.K.Ha]

Tack, Duolingo. :(

[Annikajns]

Oh... nice.

[kultarr]

Yes. Very friendly.

[violayy]

ouch!

[Ceern]

crap, I thought I was too drunk.

[CadinnoDovero]

I know Duo, there're many large mirrors inside my house to remember me.

[Segwyne]

But I thought Det finns många speglarna på restaurangen. Finns det många speglarna på ditt hus också?

[devalanteriel]

Very good, but two minor issues:

1. många speglar, otherwise you're saying "many the mirrors"
2. i ditt hus, unless you mean they're attached to the outside

[Segwyne]

Doh! I knew #1, too. If it is "i ditt hus", then why isn't it "i restaurangen"? I thought på in this case meant at. Thanks!

[devalanteriel]

A house is always a building, but a restaurant doesn't have to be. So in the latter case, you can use på to mean its inner walls, so to speak.

[Segwyne]

Oh!!!! Thank you!

[CsabaSndor]

This sentence should be banned from human interactions :)

[Abdullah4alaby]

Why? it falls under the "Healthy doses of pain" category

[Jim658990]

Paradoxically, little insults convey affection sometimes.

[TwiceyHM]

So the difference between ful and full, when speaking, is that saying "ful" means ugly, and going like "fuull" (a long U, kind of) means drunk or full/filled, right?

[devalanteriel]

Yes, but please note that ful has the longer vowel sound and full the shorter. :)

[TwiceyHM]

Oh thanks, I'll make a note of it

[JavadMousa3]

M.r Hins what is the difference between,,very,, and,,too,, in this specific sentence

[devalanteriel]

• very means a lot
• too means more than enough (in this case)

[DASR27]

I've heard those words before, but in english.

[MikyNik1856]

Duo just having his usual dinner table chat with his parents.

[UisdeanDubhghlas]

Vilken hemska sak att säga!

[devalanteriel]

hemsk* :)

[UisdeanDubhghlas]

It's the smallest details that I have a hard time with. Tack.

[ZhangtheGreat]

Nu är jag sorglig. Hur kunde du, Duo?

[devalanteriel]

No, you're ledsen. We use ledsen for being sad, and sorglig for something or someone feeling sad to someone else.
