I suspect "Ta det lungt" should be translated as "take it easy" rather than "grab the calm". Any native speakers care to comment? Pl212 00:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a native speaker but I do speak a lot of swedish. Ta det lugnt is semi-slang for "take it easy." I'm positive. "grab the calm" is a mistranslation, though it is sort of close. NPPyzixBlan 00:24, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Sounds like somebody looked it up word-for-word in the dictionary. Interesting how a lot of English-language blogs are using that as the title, perhaps taking their misinformation from this article. I've changed it. Pl212 00:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article should be added to the external links section: [1] I'm new in editing Wikipedia so I just need your opinion.(emrahy) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emrahy (talkcontribs) 16:53, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

copy vio?[edit]

the previous entry was a copyright violation? NPPyzixBlan 17:06, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, see [2] That is a copyrighted site right? There might be some minor changes to that been made, but it was an obvious copyvio. Garion96 (talk) 17:11, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation[edit]

The pronunciation has changed from "doon-yen" to "doo-ngen". I do not speak Swedish, but I did think that G was pronounced as an English Y. Even if the earlier pronunciation was incorrect, I think a native Swedish speaker should come up with a better pronunciation guide than "doo-ngen", as to an English-speaker it's pretty ambiguous how to pronounce that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Static Sleepstorm (talkcontribs) 09:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Well, in IPA (as used in Swedish language) the pronunciation Swedish would be /'dɵŋən/, but I can't say how English speakers would pronounce it... Mats 08:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's definitely not pronounced "doo-ngen", at least not here in Sweden. I think "dungen" sounds like the english word "dung" + "en", take a listen at http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dung
