Help us find dialectal words and expressions.

Oh what fun! I was born in Jämtland, raised in Sthlm and live in Gbg should have as many as possible in stock ?
"Hä" (or "he" depending on where you live) is a very useful word, it means to place, put, position. "Gatt"=to be forced to. These are probably the words I come up with from home (Jämtland) that people simply do not usually understand. By the way, I remember once when my grandmother was down in Stockholm on a visit and we went shopping. She asked the staff where they had the "pear" (potato). They looked at her a bit strangely for a few seconds and exclaimed "Ah, you mean the pears! Here they are!" Otherwise, unfortunately, I have not been involved in so many funny misunderstandings. My partner from Gbg says really funny things all the time, but of course I can't remember any of it right now.

Interesting reflection by the way about going home in one of the comments. I thought a bit about what I am saying. I "go home" when I go to visit family, but I think I'm referring more to "home to the village" rather than home to a specific house. I think. Because I also realised that I call where I am "home" ?. If I stay in a hotel, the hotel is "home".

Orkehull. Very useful word if you have gained weight !Always good to have.... There is a book Halländska ord och uttryck I think it is called.

What a funny post! In Ostrobothnia we also say fastlagsbulle, which is funny because I thought it was typically Finnish-Swedish! Semla in Finland is fralla in Sweden. Hink is ämbar in Ostrobothnia, although quite a few people probably use the word hink as well because we are influenced by Swedish TV etc... (And you can try to guess if I mean the Swedish "nog", or the Finnish-Swedish "nog" ;))
We also say graveyard instead of cemetery.
Rotten = confused, untidy
Morning meal = breakfast
Vappen = May Day evening

Just as some examples 🙂

So happy, now I'm getting sheepish 😀 I'm really looking forward to this post.

Born a klyktattare and living in Lappskatteland 😉 so I speak pure root language 🙂 otherwise I'm not very nice...

nalta = harta tå harta å harta tå dä = half of half and half of that
Harta washed in

Hembögda beste plassen på jola = hometown, best place on earth

Åtabak = backwards, but also off-centre... e.g. the sweater is Åtabak

Then a button can be oi = unbuttoned

Speaking of going home... I don't say I go home when I go to my mother's, but if I were with you and we were somewhere out and going back to your houseboat, I would say we go home...

Unfinished = not done
Disposed of _ done, finished with the task

Then again, I'm a laggard... that is, I don't eat just anything 😉.

Yes, but yes, I probably speak partly Swedish and partly Norrlandic.

Fun with dialects and words. At the age of 15, I came from Sörmland to Medelpad and Timrå, where my parents had moved. I got to know a girl of the same age in the same block of flats where we lived. When we met on the stairs, she said "goodbye" and I thought that sounded so strange because we met then. It felt a bit backwards to say that. The word "hugaligen" also appeared and meant "so terrible" or something similar. I'm sure there were other words that I reacted to, but I don't remember them today. Funny post this with dialects / words. I myself have had difficulty many times understanding friends and relatives who are from Skåne, with their pronunciation. I myself feel that I now speak "rixsvenska" if you can call it that. I was born in Stockholm, grew up in Östergötland, Sörmland and Medelpad, and as an adult lived in Bohuslän and now Västergötland.

God sooooo much fun! See that you got lots of suggestions! There will be some (fun) work for you to compile. Hahaha:-)
Here are two contributions from my side (it would have been three, but I saw that Nalta commented with the subtitle in his header:

Pumla (Christmas bauble)
Ids int (can't be bothered)

What a funny post. We are real West Germans with a dialect that is not beautiful but it is ours. Right now we don't have time to think about special words and expressions (being on the road is not a holiday???).

In Borlänge and Dalarna, there are many expressions. Here is a selection
matdosa = food box (mostly funny because dosa sounds funny in Dalmatian) you can also put food leftovers in a Butt
sulla = spill
sullgucku = person playing
tarv = have never really been able to translate this word into Swedish. It is a verb that means that you look after your own needs first. For example, it is appropriate if someone takes the biggest bun or the last piece of cake without asking.
dän = away ("take dän" we often say)
frusen = frozen
grind = to push food into one's mouth (often 'grind')
Outside of Gävle, where I grew up, we could sometimes get bored. That is, tired of waiting for someone.

So much fun to read the comments. I live in the Vächötska town of Ulricehamn.
Don't push there or you'll sink (don't push there or you'll sink).
Ôfsadrop (Roof drip)
Put deck (Sit down)
Don't push (Don't push)
Tjiligt (Boring)
Potatoes (potatoes)
Seagull ( Mycke)
Bôgda (Village)
There's a lot more but I can't think of anything right now.
It will be fun to read the summary later but you have enough to do.

Söderslätt, the southernmost part of Skåneland:
My mother had a habit of misplacing her keys and purse, and from time to time she would get nervously excited about not finding things when she needed them. She used an expression to describe how she would turn the house upside down to find the stuff: "ledegille" - a search that became so extensive that it was like a party. "I didn't find my purse, aaau... sicked ledegille I had!" - I didn't find my purse, I had to look for it!
I have no idea if it was a home-made expression, maybe she was the only one who used it? But saying "legs" and meaning feet was common when I was little. "Aaau va du e skitt om benen!" Meant "My, how dirty your feet are!" To walk on "flat" or on "just the tiles" means to walk barefoot. And then you get a bit dirty.
We also said "We're going to the lake" (pronounced like skön) and meant "We're going to the sea/beach".
