jag

Swedish for 'I.' Prounced like 'YAH', not JOG, because like any Germanic language, J is prounced like the Y sound in English. The G is also silent.

(Also, object forms 'mig' and 'dig' are pronounced like 'may' and 'day.')

Here's a mini-Swedish lesson using I:

Jag själv = I myself.
Jag älskar dig = I love you.
Jag saknar dig. = I miss you.
Förlåt för att jag är en sån stor idiot = I'm sorry, I am an idiot.
Såvitt jag vet = As far as I know
Jag heter... = I am called...
Jag bor i... = I live in...
Jag vet {inte.} = I {don't} know.
Jag talar {englska}. = I speak {English}.

All the forms of the verbs in Swedish are the same for each personal pronoun. Any of the pronouns in the following brackets can be changed to any other pronoun in the Swedish language and it would still make sense.

{Jag} är (form of 'to be') = I am
{Jag} var (form of 'to be') = I was
{Jag} har = I have.
{Jag} hade = I had.
{Jag} ska vara = I will be (just add 'ska' to form a future tense before the infinitive.)

Just-A-Guy or Just-A-Girl. He's better than a SLUG (Semi Lingering Under-Average Guy), but he's really just a guy. It's NEVA his world - not now, not neva.

What a Jag!
