Or satan i gatan

[jarrettph]

I know this is a song (one of my favorite actually), but what does that even mean?

[Arnauti]

Literally 'satan in the street' but basically we just add 'gatan' because it rhymes so it sounds fun and adds more emphasis.

[jarrettph]

So there's not really any meaning to it? :D

[Arnauti]

I mean, if Satan is in the street, he's a little more present than if you just say 'Satan' on its own (which means something like 'damn' in English). A little bit like 'hell on wheels' where 'hell' seems to get worse from being 'on wheels' :D

[HiMeCriss]

This rhymes in both English and Swedish lol

[FionaBrown8]

What makes the o sounds pronunciation different?

[Arnauti]

The main rule is that o is pronounced as a long oo-like sound when it's followed by only one consonant, and as a short o-sound when it's followed by two consonants (ck is just a spelling convention, we write that instead of two k:s).

There are some exceptions but this isn't one of them :)

[Undvne]

I wonder if my Swedish family will get a laugh out of me saying this

[JegerenGamer]
