Nope.

"To hush" would translate into the quite similar "Att hyssja" (sp? on that one Swede?)

Skoldpadda (there's supposed to be a pair of dots over the o) is Swedish for turtle (Direct translation: Skold–Shield/Padda–Toad)

Tiny Swedish Lesson
Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

'Ast getten eny, - no am bowt!'

My guess would be:

I'm not getting any - no qualms about it.

I have no idea though. Just a guess.

Not quite, - but I see where you're coming from!

Ast getten eny, - no am bowt! ..... means:-

Have you got any, (gotten, in US ) no I'm without! (ie. No, I haven't got any!)

Writing dialect is almost impossible. - It might have been better to write 'Hast getten eny', - but this is dialect from the North of England, where the dropping of aitches is very common.

You what?

I didn't understand a word of that, but it really does start to make one think about where this marvellous language came from. Clearly the 'hast' is germanically influenced. It usually seems to be that hints to the past are preserved in dialect. I understand that those few that still speak the old Cornish can speak to people in Brittany who speak their old dialect/language and be understood!
