Swedish[edit]

Etymology[edit]

fara +‎ illa

Verb[edit]

fara illa (present far illa, preterite for illa, supine farit illa, imperative far illa)

  1. to be in a harmful situation (often due to external factors)
    barn som farit illa
    maltreated children (for example)

Usage notes[edit]

Intuitively closer to "end up" than "be," but "Han far illa" means ongoing harm, hence the translation.
