tuff kille/tuffing Explanation: Besides hårding you can say tuffing, tuff kille, buse, värsting. Take a look at this page -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2007-06-07 08:58:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The only word that have a positive connotation could be tuffing as it means also couragous. The other words have more or less a negative meaning. " drummel" means more a person that is clumsy. Hope these explanations can help you -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2007-06-07 19:31:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- All the other terms are negative as far as I am concerned. If you need a word that sounds positive I should use hårding och tuffing. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day11 hrs (2007-06-08 08:18:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- råskinn is a person, guy, who likes to fight and make trouble, so I do not think it has a positive meaning. Maybe it means something different in Norwegian -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days13 hrs (2007-06-09 09:49:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, You could use hård kille but it sounds better tuffing which means the same thing -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days12 hrs (2007-06-10 08:59:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, I have answered your question. Se here over. I said that tuff kille is ok but tuffing sounds better. It is a better Swedish I think. Are you going to chose some answer. We have talked about this atgument for a while now. In which context do you need the word? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days12 hrs (2007-06-10 09:00:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- All these words are not all slang terms. The slang terms are drummel, tuffing, hårding råskinn. Hård and tuff kille are not slang terms as far as I am concerned... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days23 hrs (2007-06-10 20:00:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- tuffing or hårding are the words that you serch for. maybe more hårding as it means in the sense that you say -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 days (2007-06-13 06:40:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- tuff nöt/hård nöt att knäcka means that it is a big problem a difficult problem to resolve, not that the guy is hard. you can either say hård grabb or tuff grabb if you do not want to use kille... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 days (2007-06-13 06:41:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- What does negl means I have not met that word before..`? IN swedsih negl does not mean anything... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 days (2007-06-13 07:44:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I should still use hårding or tuffing for this expression -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 days (2007-06-14 07:47:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I have never heard about hård nagel in swedish so I should not use it. It can take som time to me to answer as your and my time zone are different. I would still go for hård kille/tuff kille/hårding/tuffing. You know, you do not have to translate directly from word to word, the important thing is to haver the meaning right... Good luck Reference: http://www.synonymer.se/?query=h%E5rding |
