Swedish[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
From Old Swedish līker, from Old Norse líkr, glíkr, from Proto-Germanic *galīkaz.
Adjective[edit]
lik (comparative mer lik, superlative mest lik)
- looking like, resembling (in appearance or other characteristics)
- Du är lik henne. Samma näsa.
- You look like (resemble) her. Same nose.
- Du är lik henne till sättet
- You are like (resemble) her in manner
- Han är lik sin far
- He resembles his father (same ambiguity as in English)
- Den nya processen är lik den gamla
- The new process is similar to (resembles) the old one
- (in the plural) alike, same (the same or similar)
- Min bror och jag är inte lika alls
- My brother and I are very different (not alike at all)
- De är lika. Skurkar båda två!
- They're the same. Crooks the both of them!
- x och y är lika
- x and y are equal
Usage notes[edit]
- Though often un-idiomatic-sounding in English, resembling is the translation that best matches the meaning in the singular. English like may partially be considered a false friend. "You are like her" would most naturally be translated as "Du är som henne" (You are as her).
- Tends strongly towards physical resemblance in the singular without context. "Du är lik Michael Jackson" would always be taken as "You look like Michael Jackson" without strong clues towards other characteristics. Other uses may intuitively be thought of as "looking like" in a figurative sense.
