"Ett ögonblick!"

Translation: One moment!

[Jan-Olav]

One twinkle of an eye :)

[chaered]

Lasting between a centisecond and a decisecond, apparently.

Well one of those reports was measuring them in milliseconds.

You people...

[Trilby16]

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

[martin.mk]

Augenblick!

[zamlet]

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

[EWESI]

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

[aline-de-boer]

Dutch: een ogenblik

[LetaEfterSverige]

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 :/

Eyeblink

[rafael.card]

wow, that one is a hard word to remember.

[Urukagina]

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

[BlayrHicks]

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

[Charity52256]

We say, “ a second”- Swedes say an eye blink. We don’t say “a moment”; we say, “a second.” These translations are not authentic swedish to English. We might say, “just a moment”; but if pressed for time, “a sec’ “. Lived in Sweden, so I remember it’s use....
