- Ja, jag står i telefon ute på gatan utanför. Jag kan se din siluett genom gardin[en]. Och jag står förstås och drömmer som jag nästan alltid gör när jag har satt i mig några flaskor vin.
- Yes, I'm on the phone [stand on the phone] out on the street outside. I can see your silhouette through the curtain. And I'm standing here dreaming, of course [and I stand of course and dream], like I almost always do when I've downed a few bottles of wine.
- Short for telefonsamtal (“phone call”).
- Du har telefon
- You have a phone call
Usage notes
edit- In some dialects, this word is not conjugated in the definitive, hence "svara i telefon" is equivalent to "answer the phone" rather than the ungrammatical "answer phone".
