As usual: Ive directly translated Swedish words into English. Your task is to figure out the real English word. Some are way easier than others.

blacksick =
bite/stab snake =
greenthings =
corpse car =
buttergoose =
spirit gown =
guard master =
breast wart =

buttergoose = sandwich?
breast wart = nipple

I skipped the others since I saw Saayoria's responses first and thought those were good guesses

Edit I'm dumb lol realized some were the same. But I'm still waking up and don't have my glasses on so I'll go with that

No.

Blacksick is something bad but how bad depends on the person.

Spirit gowns can be detected by several senses but not necessarily by all of them all the time.

Guard master is a profession.

Yeah, it is pretty weird! I wonder how they came to adopt that word?

I was only able to guess the ones I did originally because jag vet bara ett par ord.

Butter goose was a weird one though,is it actually homonyms like Val(en) and Val(et) or was it historically derived from buttered goose served on bread lol

Unfortunately not correct.

The origin of smrgs is believed to come from when people churned their own butter. During the churning small lumps of butter would rise to the surface and move like geese on water. These lumps were put on bread. Smr only means butter and gs only means goose n__n

Nope.

Being blacksick has driven people to insane deeds.

You will be more well liked if you take care of your spirit gown.

A guard master should be handy.

In both languages?

Tyranthraxus posted...
spirit gown = breath
Yup! The part of the breath which you can smell, and see if its cold.

spirit gown = breath = andedrkt

Then we have andetag which refer to the actual process of inhaling and exhaling air.
