Swedish term or phrase: Bra tictak!
This is part of some survey feedback on a course that the respondent took. It was actually supposed to be Norwegian, but it turns out half of the responses are really in Swedish. The correct spelling is probably "ticktack." I am guessing he just meant the course went well, that it went smoothly, or something like that, but on my side of Øresund we never used that term. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, Sven. I thought it was something like that, I just wanted to be sure. The less formal other Scandinavian languages are, the harder it gets sometimes. Like Transcrit mentioned, it's "like clockword", w/o the article.
