The concept is the same as previous times Ive made these topics: Ive directly translated Swedish words to English and you gotta figure out the real English words.

Times question =
Tooth thread =
Fruit meat =
Unluckhappening (lol) =
River horse =
Nail tight =
Realmday =
Ahead writing =

The only one that I have any inkling is tooth thread=dental floss.
Fruit meat might be pulp or rind.

I feel as though I should know river horse, but nothing is coming to mind.

Nail tight makes me think of a coffin.

Prescribe is correct. It can also mean rule or injunction. It is a more formal word.

Another guess that makes sense but is wrong.

Nail tight is not a metaphorical word so to speak.

Nail tight is something like smme tt in Danish, so sprika something in Swedish I think. Maybe simply nail shut?

What Swedish word did you use for accident? Something like ulykkeshndelse?

Neither manicure nor hammer are correct. Both are new guesses.

You can get nail tight.
