"Det är en fridfull plats."

Translation: It is a peaceful place.

[MonsieurCal]

The word I imagined was "frightful – quite the opposite.

[sotnosen93]

In case anyone is wondering, that translates to something like "förskräcklig" or "förfärlig".

[cynyork]

If I say the word peaceful, the emphasis is definitely on the peace, with the ful lower in tone and less loud. When she says fridfull, the emphasis is at least as much on the full part, and there is little gap between the two syllables making the full part more attached to the word plats. Am I fearing it right?

[friswing]

Yes, Swedish stress both syllables, the ending "-full" is important, but English does not stress the ending "-ful".

[Zzzzz...]

Kan man säga "Det är en lugn plats"?

[Zmrzlina]

Yes.

[sotnosen93]

More literally that translates to "It is a calm place", but the overall meaning is the same.

[TopRival75]

Nu går jag till min fridfull plats...

[sotnosen93]

"Fridfulla". When the noun the adjective modifies is possessed by someone, you use the same form for the adjective as if it were plural.

[TopRival75]

Oh yeah. Thanks.

"Denna plats är fridfull, dess invånare är snälla"

[sotnosen93]

Translation: "This place is peaceful, its inhabitants are nice."

[MikyNik1856]

Isn't the adjective suppose to be "fridfullt"?

[TopRival75]

No, plats is an en- word.

[MikyNik1856]

Yup, somehow i thought to match the adjective with "det".

[Uppsala18]

Is fridfull an adjective and frid an adverb?

[friswing]

"frid" is a noun (peace, as in tranquility).
Fridfull is an adjective, the adverb is "fridfullt" (added -t)

[Uppsala18]

Thanks, I got a bit confused by the sentence "Jag känner frid", but I get it now.
