"Vår valuta har blivit svagare."

Translation: Our currency has become weaker.

[Iikka]

...och TTS verkar lite för glad för det.

[HelenCarlsson]

TTS sounds overjoyed!

Now I know where Russian word валюта came from :)

[Nerdator]

English and German have it, too. Russian most probably got it either from German or directly from Italian, which the word comes from.

[Baba7249]

Native German speaker here -"valuta" is most definitely not a German term, except funnily enough as a Russian loan word to describe "hard currency". The German word for currency is "Währung".

[Nerdator]

While 'Währung' is undoubtedly the most common way to say 'currency', 'Valuta' is a word in German: http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Valuta

(Like in English) it's just an uncommon and specialist term that you won't encounter unless you work in that field.

[Baba7249]

Sure it can be used in German, that's not the point - but it wouldn't be used in the above sentence.

[HaroldWonh]

I don't follow: "Valuta" is not an English word.

[devalanteriel]

It actually is, see e.g. Merriam-Webster (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/valuta) for a definition. That said, it's quite clearly not a common word, nor one in general use. I think Nerdator was saying that it occurs in expert terminology, not that it's a word people would be expected to know about.

mhh, Italian banks? I mean Genova/Venezia/Firenze of the past centuries

[use_her_name]

Was that about valuta? Anyway, Dutch has that word too.

[PaulGratrex]

As a Brit, this is hitting a little too close to home right now.

[desifromitaly]

"Valuta" is (also) an Italian word. It comes from the ancient past participle ("valuto") of the verb "valere", which means "be worth" :-)

Is "Vår valuta hat gått svagare.'' okay?

[Zmrzlina]

No, it doesn't work.

[zgz.]

Noted. Thanks! :)

[Emmi373612]

What would be "become stronger“ in this context?

[devalanteriel]

blivit starkare works well.
