Svedmyra refererar egentligen till att man förr i tiden svedde myrar, alltså brände fält. Det har inget med myror att göra. Man brände alltså en myr eller ett fält för att kunna odla där. :P

Hej, Daniella I have a few video ideas and it would be great if you could do those: Places in pendeltåg and sparväg city What om means because ot has a lot of meanings When to use till and att because they both mean-the same thing What ska means because it also has a lot of meanings

"Äng" actually translates to "Meadow".

@tommiejonsson8952 2 жыл бұрын

And "Näckros" is an actual flower that is called "Water lily" in english. You also misunderstood "Svedmyra". "Sved" is past tense of svida and should be translated to "stung", BUT "Sved" also have a different meaning. It means "lumbered timber" and "myra" can be a poetic way of saying "myren" which would mean that the english word for "Svedmyra" would be "timber-mire".

@hansstromberg5330 2 жыл бұрын

Ganska kul och trevligt, men... Gubbängen is the name of a farm, situated more or less where the metrostation is. Hökarängen is named after Hökarängens Gård, situated a few km to the East. Farsta is also a name of a manor-house in, you guess? Farsta. Blåsut, by the way was an inn. I had better stop there, but it would be nice if you try to find yhe truth instead of just speculating.
