Usage notes
[edit]Usually intransitive except for (sense 3) and for certain activities (like "cirkus," kurragömma (“hide and seek”), tafatt (“tag”)), and blindbock (“blind man's buff”)). Spela is used for more rule-bound or grown-up games. Saying "leka fotboll" makes it sound like soccer is a kind of (free-form) play, or like you are only pretending to play soccer, as a form of play. See also lek.
