  • hålla i koppel = keep on a leash
  • hålla tyst = keep quiet (to shut up)
  • Se nu till att hålla hastighetsgränserna. = Now, make sure to keep the speed limit.
  • hålla en lektion = to lecture, to do(?) a lecture
  • hålla ett föredrag/tal = (?)
  • Hur länge kan du hålla andan? = For how long can you keep your breath?
