"It is a pocket."

Translation: Det är en ficka.

[Autumn19361]

i thought ficka was a break

[friswing]

fika = coffee break. ficka = pocket. Pocket = paperback.

[icannotfly]

Is there any difference in pronuncation?

[friswing]

Yes, fika has a 'long i', but ficka has a 'short i', short vowels are as a rule followed by a double consonant, it's just that 'k' is an exception spelling-wise, we write a double-K as ck

[exqeriment]

Pocket in Swedish means paperback? That's funny and awesome!

[friswing]

Well, a book small enough to fit in a pocket, more or less. So here we use the English expression "Pocket book", but shortened to just pocket

[exqeriment]

Oh! It's still cool though.

[jholland15]

wouldn't it be "den är en ficka" because ficka is a common noun?
