[eddermaneme]

svenske tilstande, idiom

Direct translation Swedish situations

Pronunciation [ˈsvɛn.sgə ˈtel.sdan.n̩]

Meaning Like things are in Sweden. Always negative and something to be avoided. Often concerning immigration, feminism and equality.

Use “Jeg synes vi nærmer os svenske tilstande her i Danmark. Her i går så jeg en gruppe kvinder med tørklæde. Jeg kender dem ikke, så jeg kan med sikkerhed fastslå at de er blevet tvunget i tørklæde af deres mænd! Føj!” “I think we are going towards Swedish situations in Denmark. Yesterday I saw a group of women with head scarfs. I don’t know them and therefore I’m able to determine, without doubt, that they are forced to wear scarfs by their husbands! Yuck!”

(This example do not express the author of this post’s own opinion)

The swedish word “blod” is pronounced the way “blood” looks like it should be pronounced and vice versa
