| gamineAnzahl der Beiträge: 4611 | Hello Casper; If I translate the way you say it would give: "Han verkade vare melankolisk" in Swedish.
Pia, can you help us please. CC: casper tavernello pias |

| | Well, Pia has voted for "right", so I withdraw my first post. |

| gamineAnzahl der Beiträge: 4611 | Thanks Casper. Well don't be sad, usually it's I who's wrong. |

| | Perhaps it should simply be:
"He was sitting at a table alone, looking melancholy." CC: pias |

Yes "såg melankolisk ut" reffer to the way he looks. Lilians suggest looks fine to me. |

| piasAnzahl der Beiträge: 8113 | It's not hard to understand why you missunderstood it Lene, because if it had been a little "t" at the end "sÃ¥g melankolisk t ut", (e.g. genom fönstret), your translation would have been correct. |

| | I was going to post something regarding the same propposal given by Pia about the "...melankoliskt..." (an adverb.), but I would say " tittade melankolisk t ut...". |

| piasAnzahl der Beiträge: 8113 | How come Casper isn't a Swedish expert yet.
"såg" and "tittade" are synonyms, so I think you can use them both here. |
