  • ekoulouvari is this an expression or should we say "were left aside"? about 1 year ago

    David Minugh The usual phrase is "were ignored", but "laughed aside" is attitudinally stronger, since it suggests that people made fun of her. It is an idiomatic expression. about 1 year ago

  • David Johansson Couldn't recklessly be a good alternative answer for this situation? over 2 years ago

    David Minugh Not really: 'recklessly' means 'knowingly foolish', whereas a surgeon might forget a sponge, but not simply ignore it. The core sense of 'slarvigt' is that just just don't bother doing something you know you should, whereas 'recklessly' implies a deliberate refusal to take account of the consequences of your behavior. over 2 years ago

  • Myung Jin Kim Not dirge? over 2 years ago

    David Minugh A 'dirge' is usually a more formal music composition, so it's related, but not the same as a song by a mourner. over 2 years ago

  • Fredrik Apelgren rätt säker på att "fåfängt" och futile inte är samma sak, fåfänga är mer nått i stil med "vanity" over 2 years ago

    David Minugh The adverb 'fåfängt' = 'förgäves'; you're thinking of the noun 'fåfänga', which is indeed 'vanity', but 'fåfängt' means 'in vain, futile'. In both languages, the words are related! over 2 years ago
