"I do not eat beef."

Translation: Jag äter inte nötkött.

[vampirebanquet]

so nötkött = beef
fläskkött = pork
and kött = meat?

[devalanteriel]

Yep.

[lesliedawne]

is the letter "k" always pronounced "ch"? (I know "ck" is pronounced "k," as in "socker")

[devalanteriel]

No, it's hard when preceded by the so-called hard vowels a, o, u, å.

[DavidCarls11]

It's there a distinction between oxkött and nötkött?

[devalanteriel]

No, they're synonymous, but oxkött can be a bit dated.

[poppo17]

A "nöt" is a nut; and "kött" stands for meat, i guess. does "nöt" means also "beef"?

[devalanteriel]

No, nöt means "cattle". English has an older cognate "neat" with the same meaning.

[j4cobgarby]

So.. neat meat!

[AprilMay4409]

Is there any difference between nötkött and oxkött?

[devalanteriel]

No, they're synonymous, but oxkött can be a bit dated.

[CedSgm7N]

I had guessed 'kott' ... so is 'kott' meat and notkott beef?

[devalanteriel]

Yes, nöt is an old word meaning "cattle". It's a cognate of the English "neat", which is archaic today but has the same general meaning.
