Little Cleansers and Dominions

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

A couple of others have said "it's basically pronounced like 'Riesling'".

Have some language babble \o/

Because it frustrates me that there is no way in English to describe a long Swedish y-sound apart from it indeed being close to the sound of Riesling etc only not quite...

Here's a vocaroo link: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0laJ6JAsu3L Apologies about the crappy sound quality!

This is me bending the adjective ryslig \o/ The first two forms (ryslig/rysligt) are different versions of the word depending on a) if it's used more as an adverbial, b) what is referred to - honestly, it's unexpectedly complicated to try to explain /cries over Swedish grammar

The two latter (rysligare/rysligast) are simply the comparative forms (more dreadful/most dreadful).

...I am sorry, nonnies, I just have a lot of feelings about words.

Thank you! I've been wondering about this myself.

Late to this but thanks so much for the info, anon! I'm not a native Swede but I'm living here, and while I knew what the word meant I didn't know all that! I'm a language nerd myself and this is super interesting /chinhands
