@Coppergasm Swedish is my first language too (But, live in the US)... anyway, It's not only used as sarcasm. I'd say that most of the time, it isn't... If someone wants to take a shower, "Dom vill ha det lagom varmt", for example.
-
Lilla landet lagom
-
jag skulle ha sagt: ge mej en öl!
-
"Lagom" does not exist in just swedish, that is just a myth for example in B/C/S umjereno means the samt thing.
P.S
I think someone said "Rappa på" to you which means hurry up
-
@GumGreed I do live in Sweden, and Swedish is my first language, the only times I've heard "lagom" is when people are being sarcastic.
-
@Coppergasm yeah... not really... It really does have a special meaning. you gotta live in sweden to know it true meaning I think :P
-
@Coppergasm Not really
-
Wouldn't "lagom" be "just enough"?

@MrOggeswe Because "G" sounds the same way when it is put in words! When english people pronounce "G", they pronounce it in the alphabetical way, which sounds a little something like this: "jee"! And they don't pronounce it as "jee" when it is in a word or sentence! Which is JUST like swedish!! So that's why he knew what the swedish guy meant. Since he accidentely pronounced G differentley in when he said "lagom".
tummen upp om ni väntade på att han skulle börja: tjo bre va händer mann?

Nästan så att svenskar behöver google translate för att förstå din svenska.
