\nHur m\u00e5r du?<\/em> How are you feeling? Unfortunately, it\u2019s quite common this time of year for folks to catch a cold. Whether you have the little \u201cbug\u201d going around the office, or the flu, it is no fun to be sick! In this post I\u2019ll cover some vocab that is helpful to know when you\u2019re not feeling well.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, when something hurts, whether it\u2019s a sore back or headache, use the phrase “<\/strong><\/span>ha ont i<\/i><\/strong> “<\/strong> plus the body part in definite form.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Jag har ont i ryggen. …i armen, i handen, i foten.
\n<\/span><\/i>I have pain in my back, in my arm, in my hand, in my foot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vi sprang j\u00e4ttemycket ig\u00e5r, vi kommer att ha ont i benen imorgon.
\n<\/span><\/i>We ran a lot yesterday, we\u2019re going to have sore legs tomorrow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, I should note that this structure doesn’t translate word for word to English. Jag har ont i huvudet,<\/em> is literally “I have pain in the head.” A better English equivalent is “I have a headache” or “my head hurts.”<\/p>\n

If you need a reminder of body parts in their various forms, see this past post <\/span>here. <\/span><\/a>Additionally, for some more explanation on ont i<\/em> and other pain words in Swedish like <\/span>v\u00e4rk<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>sm\u00e4rta<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>see this post<\/span><\/a>, and read the comments as well!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some common adjectives, and all of their inflections, to use when you are feeling a bit <\/span>bl\u00e4:<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>sjuk -> sjukt -> sjuka\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/i>sick\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Henrik har stannat hemma i 3 dagar, han \u00e4r riktigt sjuk.
\n<\/span><\/i>Henrik has stayed home for 3 days, he is really sick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*this is often the first word students learn in Swedish for \u201csick.\u201d Although, it’s most often used though when you\u2019re <\/span>quite<\/span><\/i> sick. <\/span>F\u00f6rkyld <\/span><\/i>rather, is a bit more common for \u201csick\u201d when you\u2019re feeling 100% but still functioning.\u00a0 You’re \u201cunder the weather,\u201d or \u201chave a bug.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

f\u00f6rkyld -> f\u00f6rkylt -> f\u00f6rkylda<\/strong> <\/span><\/i> \u00a0 \u00a0sick, as in have a cold<\/span><\/p>\n

Jag \u00e4r f\u00f6rkyld och har ont i huvudet.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/i>I am sick and have a headache.<\/span><\/p>\n

snuvig\u00a0 -> snuvigt -> snuviga<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0congested, plugged up<\/span><\/p>\n

Det \u00e4r inte kul att vara snuvig p\u00e5 jobbet.\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/em><\/span>It is not fun to be congested at work.<\/span><\/p>\n

yr\u00a0 -> yrt -> yra\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/i><\/strong>dizzy<\/p>\n

Jag k\u00e4nner mig lite yr men jag vet inte varf\u00f6r.
\n<\/span><\/i>I am feeling a bit dizzy but I don\u2019t know why. <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

S\u00e5 hur m\u00e5r du<\/strong><\/span><\/i>?\u00a0 So, how are you feeling?\u00a0 This is the \u201chow are you?\u201d question that you\u2019ll want to ask when you know someone is not feeling their best. Use the verb m\u00e5r<\/em> + bra, inte bra, illa, d\u00e5lig<\/em>, etc in response to this question. And use \u00e4r<\/em> when pairing with the adjectives above. Till exempel<\/em>:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

-Hur m\u00e5r du idag, Lena?\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0–<\/span><\/i>How are you feeling today, Lena?
