"Min brors hus är fullt av damm"

Translation: My brother's house is full of dust

[MarkBorkBorkBork]

He should clean the dammed thing :D

[Knoxienne]

Damm will be easy to remember. :)

[HelenCarlsson]

Because of damn or because of dumb :)?

[Knoxienne]

Because of damn! It makes me think of cursing that dust that always comes back, or I suppose it could also refer to the low value coin, the dam where we got the phrase, "It's not worth a tinker's dam." Dust is not very valuable! :) I love mnemonics.

[HelenCarlsson]

Tinker's dam was new to me. But, do you know that "damm" also means dam, not the tinker thing, but the water barrier? And "dam" (long Swedish a) means lady :).

[TigerSamurai]

Thanks for that clarification. My first thought actually was "my brother's house is full of women" :-)

[MonsieurCal]

Du är damm, och till damm ska kommer du tillbaka.

[Arnauti]

That's Av jord är du kommen. Jord skall du åter varda in the older translation and Jord är du och jord skall du åter bli. in a newer one.

[illangon]

Lol i thought his house is full of women :-| French jumps in

[devalanteriel]

That'd be damer in this case. More like ladies than women, but a cognate. :)
