Umseting - Svenskt-Enskt - "jag och min skål"!! hon vill inte ha någon...

Lene, you are right that 'skål' could be translated as 'bowl'... but I believe they mean 'toast' in this sentence. (Me and my toast!!)

Hi Pia. I think you are right. It seems , now that you have told me, that it is the really meaning of this sentence. I found it a bit strange myself. Lilian, I agree with Pia. Could you edit please.
Thanks for your help, dear Pia.

I set a poll because I hoped you could help me, Pia, but I must confess that neither "bowl" nor "toast" makes sense to me.

@ sashakitty,

I think we need a bit more context.

I tried to help. That's the only translation I can think of for that sentence, I agree the sentence is a bit weird, but understandable IMO.

More context would be great, yes! :-)

HI Lilian and Pia. 'Skål' in my opinion could also be simply 'cheers' or 'farewell. So couldn't it be someone who gives a toast for someone with a drink and says goodbye because 'She did not want anybody else, I have tried!!!
It's the only other explanation I can find.

Never heard anyone using 'skål' in the meaning of 'farewell' LENE, but I interpret that sentence about the same way as you do. (LILIAN, I was not thinking about burnt bread!! :P) It's probably about someone who has proposed a toast for..... something. And I think that "Jag och min skål!!" is written with a bit of sarcasm/ ironical = the wish or whatever that propose was for, never came true.

However, more context is needed! Hope the requester will reply

have a look here Pia. http://dictionnaire.sensagent.com/cheerio/en-en/.
But I agree with you we need some more context to be sure. Thanks again.

I was only talking about the Swedish word 'skål' (noun: toast)(interj: cheers) I've never heard anyone use it as a farewell.

You are absolutely right about the English word 'cheers', could be used in many ways. Thanks for the link

Haha, never have I . Speaking about the Swedish word 'Skål'. But you know, since I was a kid I remember small jokes between Swedish and Danish people. And I liked it and still do.

I was joking Lene!!

---> YOU

Ha,when I lived in Sweden my Swedish friends loved to tell me bad jokes in a lovely way too.
Seems the requester doesn't need this translation that much. Hsn't not logged in for almost 2 weeks now.

to you dear.

OK girls, the requester doesn't seem really interested in the translation, therefore I'll accept your suggestion Pia and validate this version.
Thanks.

Thanks to you, dear Lilian.
