  smidigt.se, not smidgit.se. Smidigt means literally flexible or limber in Swedish, but also is a popular slang for cool things or people, suave and groovy sort of.

  I knew that, linked from smidigt a few times actually. Sorry for the typo - it’s fixed now. How do you pronounce smidigt anyhow?

  It’s pronounced something like “smiddigt” or “smid-iggt” depending on where in the country you’re from and how fast you speak. Surprisingly much how you think it’d be pronounced if read in English.

  It’s the “gt” part that I don’t get - so, it’s like “smeed-igged” or “smee-digged”?

  Yeah, I can imagine that’s a hard thing to get if you’re not used to that sound. Think of it as the word “git” just with a very short “i”. So more like “smeedi-git” I guess, just with a short or silent last “i”. Swedish is a painful language if you’re not born into it

  Yes, I too can understand that it must be close to impossible to pronounce if you’re not from Sweden.

  If you say it as it’s meant to be pronounced it would be something like “smee-diggt”, but the easier everyday talk version is more like “smeedit” (with the ‘g’ silent) - a bit easier in other words.

  Thanks for the link back to Smidigt! Happy holidays!
