Lasting between a centisecond and a decisecond, apparently.

    Well one of those reports was measuring them in milliseconds.

      Yes! I love that about Swedish. I think of it as "the blink of an eye."

          I noticed that too. I knew my highschool German might come in handy someday.

            Something strange is that genders don't always correspond between Swedish and German, although they are related.

              Dutch: een ogenblik

                Is 'ögonblick' used both as in ''in a moment (a second/a blink of an eye)!'' and "We shared a moment/That was a moment to remember''? Is ögonblick used to remark the shortness of a span of time or it could be used also in the second sentence? I really hope this makes sense :/

                    Remember that ögon are your eyes, and so think 'in the blink of an eye' - just a moment

                      Are there any set rules in Swedish grammar that I missed where it explains when the "g" is pronounced silent or hard?
