Man glömmer "please" vilket blir "var snäll" | | | 25 September 2007 15:09 | | | Xini, Maggis message is very true. In Swedish we extremely seldom use the word "please". If you should talk real "Swenglish" then avoid all "Please".
"Give me a beer."
"Help me with this."
"Could you give me a hand."
Swedes are therefore considered rude by many English speaking persons. So I'll fight for the "please" in my translation. It is one of the rudimentary signs of the difference between a good and a bad translation to/from Swedish, I think.
