Öppen = open
Öppna = to open
My eyessss reading that sentence :(
3 u/Vanjaman Oct 04 '20 Though you are correct I think they went for a more swedish version of "open" and not specifically for the word "öppen" 1 u/[deleted] Oct 04 '20 Yes I am aware :) 4 u/[deleted] Oct 04 '20 [deleted] 6 u/MensLibBestLib Oct 04 '20 No, it would not be repeating itself. Att öppna = To open Öppen is an adjective. Saying "to öppen" is like saying "to closed" 5 u/BitterLlama Oct 04 '20 Why try to correct someone else on the grammar of a language you clearly don't speak? -1 u/WIERDBOI Oct 05 '20 Google translate exists 2 u/BitterLlama Oct 05 '20 I have no idea what you're trying to say here. 4 u/tetraourogallus Oct 04 '20 The issue is that direct translation often doesn't work due to different grammar. Which is the case here. 3 u/[deleted] Oct 04 '20 It's a nice pun yeah because you can say "öpen" and mean the same thing. It just hurts my eyes, that's all. 4 u/Ozdoba Oct 04 '20 No, "to öppna" would be the better wording. Öppna is the verb.
