Kan "ute" egentligen också betyda att man är oppet gay?

[devalanteriel]

We do have the expression ute ur garderoben like English has "out of the wardrobe", so saying just ute is not unheard of, but it's also not common. Instead, we'd say har kommit ut (has come out).

There's also outad, a direct - and colloquial - loan of the English "outed". It has the same meaning as its English counterpart, so it's not restricted to sexuality.

[cynyork]

And is ute also out, like not hemma?

[Zmrzlina]

Yes, that works. Borta means he's gone, ute means he's out.

[MattBush2]

In the sense of someone being out of their office (ute), but not gone for the day (borta)?

[Zmrzlina]

Yeah, sounds reasonable.

[Yerrick]

Looks like that would be "Han är borta" instead.

[cynyork]

thanks!

Why sometimes when we have a minor typo does it tell us that we are typing in English?
