Swedish

The ferry route between Elsinore, Denmark and Helsingborg, Sweden is short, thus making those ferries a popular place to tura.

Etymology

From tur (“trip, journey”) +‎ -a (“-ing”).

Verb

tura (present turar, preterite turade, supine turat, imperative tura)

1. To travel back and forth by ferry without disembarking (e.g. between Helsingborg and Elsinore).
   • 2020 September 17, Johan Dernelius, “Smygpremiär idag för nya snabbfärjan till Tyskland [Sneak preview today for the new fast ferry to Germany]”, in SVT Nyheter:

     När tyskarna kommer till Ystad har man hela dagen på sig att äta, shoppa, fika och aktivera sig. För svenskarna som åker till Tyskland blir det ungefär som att tura med den här tidtabellen, säger hon.

     When the Germans arrive in Ystad, they have the whole day to eat, shop, have coffee, and enjoy activities. For the Swedes traveling to Germany, it’s similar to taking continuous ferry trips with this schedule, she says.

   • 2021 May 6, Katarina Melvinger, “Nu går det åter att tura på riktigt – Aurora har öppnat restaurangen [You can once again enjoy continuous ferry trips – Aurora has reopened its restaurant]”, in Helsingborgs Dagblad:

     Nu är det åter fullt möjligt att göra en klassiker – det vill säga tura på riktigt med både mat och dryck. På torsdagen öppnade M/S Auroras restaurang efter tre månaders pandemistängning.

     It’s now fully possible to experience a classic – that is, taking genuine continuous ferry trips with food and drink. On Thursday, the restaurant on the M/S Aurora reopened after three months of pandemic closure.

   • 2024 April 6, Christopher Johansson, “Rekordpåsk på Öresundslinjen – danskarna har lärt sig att tura [Record-breaking Easter on the Öresund route – the Danes have learned to take continuous ferry trips.]”, in Helsingborgs Dagblad:

     Enligt färjerederiet beror det delvis på att danskar har lärt sig att ”tura” och ett ökat intresset för maten ombord.

     According to the ferry company, this is partly because the Danes have learned to enjoy the experience of taking multiple round trips on the ferry, and there is increased interest in the food served on board.)
