Is this the depressing part of the course? Couldn't you put the food skill right after, instead of right before?
I linked to Visa från Utanmyra in another thread earlier today :). I thought of Vintersaga.
Det är då som det stora vemodet rullar in...
Look up the album, Jazz på svenska by Swedish jazz pianist Jan Johansson. It is basically a collection of jazz arrangements of Swedish folk songs, and it is amazing.
Is vemod a common word to use? Because my first reaction to this is that I can just forget it since melancholy isn't a word I've ever used in my life. But I'm quickly learning that language doesn't work like that!
Is vemod perhaps one step sadder than ledsen?
It's not common no. Wiktionary has a good definition of it in my opinion:
vemod n
- pensive melancholy
- tender sadness
- (negative) calm feeling that something emotionally (positively) significant is over and never will be back
I would say the word reflects a lot of Scandinavian culture.
Fråga för manniskor som talar både portugisiska/galiciska och svenska: är "vemod" samma som eller liknar det "saudade"?
nej, jag tycker inte det. "vemod" verkar mycket med "melancolia".
"saudade" är en känsla man känns för andra personen eller andra tid/plats.
men jag bara lär mig svenska. kanske jag stämmer inte.
Som Robert sier, "saudade" er mer "lengsel" (längtan?), etter noe/noen, tror jeg.
Isnt melankoli a word ??? My norwegian friend and i were talking in a weird svorsk mix and she Said vemodig is a greater feeling than melancholy ? Is this true ??

But I typed in 'A feeling of woe' (thinking of the German 'Wehmut') and was dinged wrong.
