hmm"Lagom
The common swedish word "lagom" can't be be translated in to a single word in any other language. In english it would be something like "not to much, not to little".
The origin of the word is the old days when they passed one jug of beer around and everyone should drink "lagom" so there would be some left for the last person, but not more then he could handle.
Lag = team, om|kring = around"
apparently. but isnt 'not too much, not too little' translated as 'sufficient' in english?
