Words of the Wonderful Adventures of Nils · 414 headwords

Each word with its meanings, its forms, and the lines it stands in.

dag

day; days; day's 299 times

dag, dagen, dagar, dagarna, dagens, da’n, dagars, Dagen

noun, nominative, common gender, singular; noun, nominative, common gender, plural; noun, genitive, common gender, singular

Da’n is a colloquial contraction of dagen.

darra

trembled; tremble; trembling 8 times

darra, darrade, darrande

noun, nominative, common gender, singular; verb, past, indicative, active; adjective, nominative, plural

infinitive of the verb darra (to tremble), mistagged as a noun.

den

it; its; the 5105 times

det, Det, den, Den, dess

pronoun, neuter, singular; pronoun, common gender, singular; pronoun

ch03-p50 example 'sedan dess' means 'since then', not possessive 'its' — pinning the gloss to 'its' teaches a lie for that collocation.

djurfolk

animal-folk; the kinds of animals 3 times

djurfolk, djurfolken

noun, nominative, neuter, singular; noun, nominative, neuter, plural

Both studio translations use the coined collective term 'animal-folk'; 'animal people' needlessly replaces it.

död

dead; death; died 76 times

död, döda, döden, dödens

noun, nominative, common gender, singular; adjective, nominative, plural; adjective, nominative, singular

Examples mix the noun (döden) with adjectival uses (död gås); flag if the occurrence is adjectival.

du

you; your 1476 times

du, dig, Du, din, dina, ditt

pronoun, nominative, common gender, singular; pronoun, accusative, common gender, singular; pronoun, common gender, singular

This entry is really the possessive "dina" (plural agreement), mistagged under the lemma du.

duktig

capable; considerable; well done 21 times

duktigt, duktig, duktiga, duktigast

adjective, nominative, common gender, singular; adjective, nominative, neuter, singular; adjective, nominative, plural

In all four examples duktig(t) is an intensifier meaning 'considerable/hearty/thorough' (duktigt tilltagen = 'built on a grand scale'; ett duktigt blåsväder = 'a good hard blow of wind'; ett duktigt arbete = 'a good day's work'), not the 'skilled/capable (of a person)' sense the glosser used.

dyster

gloomy; dismally 8 times

dystert, dyster, dystra

noun, nominative, common gender, plural; adjective, nominative, plural; adverb

Both examples have adjectival dystert modifying lynne in the fixed phrase vid dystert lynne ('in gloomy spirits'); 'gloomily' is the wrong part of speech.
