    SWEDISH: I have a question about the language, and another about the country's...

    ...politics? 1) If one were to say "He tried to kill himself." would they most commonly say "Han försökte att ta självmord." or "Han försökte att döda sig själv."?

    2) I read somewhere that the parties would vote on whether or not same-sex marriage would be legal in 2009. Does anyone know anything about this?

    Tack.

    1) "Han försökte att ta självmord." "Han försökte att döda sig själv"
    well isn't that like the same thing?
    literally it's the second one of course but "Han försökte att ta självmord"
    is more correct to say. Either that or "Han försökte (att) begå självmord".

    Han försökte (att) ta självmord en kall vinterkväll i december.
    Han försökte (att) begå självmord en kall vinterkväll i december.

    Han försökte (att) döda sig själv med en kniv.
    Han försökte (att) ta/begå självmord med en kniv.

    2) I don't know much about politics but.. hmm..
    yeah. I've heard that it seems like same-sex marriage will be legal in 2009.
    It kinda sucks, nothing happened 2007. 9 parties said no, 8 said yes.
    April this year.. well nothing happened obviously...
    BUT
    let's see if something happens this autumn then! (:
