Verb

[edit]

vore

1. past subjunctive of vara; were, would be Vore det val idag skulle oppositionspartierna vinnaIf elections were held today [were it election today], the opposition parties would win Det bästa vore ju om vi alla kunde enas om det härIt would be best if we could all agree on this, of course Det vore trevligt om ni kunde komma!It would be nice if you could come! Om det ändå vore såIf only that were the case [If it only/yet were so]
   • 1891, Gustaf Fröding, “Jag ville, jag vore”, in Guitarr och dragharmonika:Jag ville, jag vore i IndialandI wished I were in Indialand
   • 1990, Niklas Strömstedt, “Om [If]”, in Om! [If!]‎[1]:Om du var ett hav vore jag en våg. Om du var himmelen skulle jag ha vingar. Om du var ett regn hade jag var't [varit] hav och land. Om du var musik vore jag en sång. Om du var vidderna ville jag va' [vara] vinden. Men jag skulle inte va' [vara] nånting om du inte fanns.[Literally translated for illustration – see the link for a more natural translation] If you were an ocean [sea], were I a wave [or "I were a wave" – subjunctive. "Var jag en våg" sounds wrong the way "I was a wave" does here. The tone is just "I would be a wave"]. If you were the sky, I would have wings. If you were a rain, had I been sea and land [subjunctive, everyday – very common with hade (“had”)]. If you were music, were I a song [or "I were a song" – subjunctive. "Var jag en sång" (I was a song) sounds wrong, like above. The tone is just "I would be a song"]. If you were the plains, I wanted to be the wind [somewhat tersely worded here in Swedish as well]. But I would not be anything if you did not exist.

Usage notes

[edit]

• Everyday word, despite the subjunctive mood being archaic to obsolete otherwise in modern Swedish.
• See the song quotation above for another example of an idiomatic use of vore.
