Aboutkarinafp Expertise I`m a teacher from and in Sweden. I teach Swedish as well as English, French, Spanish and music. I`m also rather good at finding information on the Internet.
Experience I've been an expert at askme.com, and was rated # 1 in the "Language" category. Must have been doing something right, then...
Many thanks for your excellent recent answer. If I've not rated and thanked, it's because the computer wouldn't let me – obviously some sort of site malfunction.
A bit of TROLLKARLENS HATT:
Han (Hemulen) brukar aldrig ge sig av långt, sa Snorkfröken.
Please, what is ge sig? Give oneself doesn't seem to fit.
Cheers,
Simon
Answer Hi Simon,
The whole expression is "ge sig av", with the stress on the word AV, meaning to leave, be off.
It's been snowing heavily for two days here, causing great problems for cars, trains and buses. Do I have to tell you that I HATE THIS?
