Source language: Swedish

På julafton brukar släkten komma hem till oss vid klockan halv 3, då dricker vi glögg. sedan kollar vi på kalle anka. efter det äter vi julmat. efter maten brukar vi öpnna presenterna, men i år köpte min familj inga presenter utan vi skänkte pengarna till välgörenhet istället. vi brukar alltid avsluta kvällen med spel och julgodis.

Hello

what does "kollar på kalle anka" mean? I'd like to translate but I can't find the meaning of "kalle".


Thanks

It means "watch Donald Duck" (though "kollar" is less neutral than "ser" or "tittar", something you use in spoken language rather than when writing a more formal text).

"Kalle anka" is just what Donald Duck is called in Swedish.

It has really become a tradition here to watch Donald Duck on TV every Christmas in Sweden (especially in families with children). Almost exactly the same films have been shown for a few decades now. :-)
