3 years agoWhen Swedish translators try to create a Swedish name for an English character it always ends up sounding silly. Batman was named “läderlappen” (the leather patch) for example.
Yesterday I heard that they translated Pennywise the clown as “clownen Snåljåpen”, which I guess gets the literal meaning across but also makes him feel like more of a stingy old man than an actual villain.
According to this song, you pronounce like trying to cough up some phlegm that’s gotten stuck in your throat. I can only assume that their history of coal mining has affected the language.
