In Sweden, the word is often used to describe someone who puts a lot of effort into school or someone who makes a lot of dribbles while playing a sport for fun. A mean way of saying someone has high ambitions
Common use of Try-hard (swedish version):
- Look at how much Oscar is dribbling.
- Yeah, heâs such a try-hard
Or
- Is Sven actually studying between the lessons?
- Heâs a try-hard.
