Can someone tell me what this sentence means? - I like to wirte my journal in Swedish on dagbok.net. There is a comentary function for each post. Someone wrote a note on one of my journal entries and i\'m not sure what it means. Can someone help me? It is:

\"bara tänkte lite på ditt språk, ditt sätt att skriva.. det såg så gulligt ut på nåt sätt:)\"

I think it has something to do with \"I thought little about your language, your way to write..it saw so cute out on some way :)\"

The last part doesn\'t really make sense to me. Might it have something to do with the fact that I have written before in my journal that I am still learning Swedish.

Perhaps it means:

\"I didn\'t really think too much about your use of the language or your style of writing..I thought it was cute in a way :)\"

Either way, the word \"gullig\" threw me off because nothing that I wrote was cute. I would like to know for sure. Thank you!

- I\'m not a native speaker (and the comment seems to be in colloquial language), but here\'s my suggestion:

[i]I just thought [u][b]a[/b][/u] little about your language, your way to write... it looked so cute in a way.:)[/i]

se = to see
se ut = to seem

And my wild guess is that it\'s funny mistakes or atypic vocabulary that make your Swedish [i]gullig på nåt sätt[/i]. :D

- Tack så mycket! I ´thought something along those lines too.

- Yes, quietspeaker is right, it means exactly that and it\'s in colloquial language, but in this case it\'s not very different from \"normal\" swedish.

Something that is very good to know is that we often write the words något and någon as we say them: nåt and nån, especially on the internet.

- I never do :)

[i]\"bara tänkte lite på ditt språk, ditt sätt att skriva.. det såg så gulligt ut på nåt sätt:)\"[/i]

i would more translate this such as the person in question just realized/noticed your way of writing and thought that i was cute. you\'re not to interpret it as this person gave it a lot of thought :) (but i guess you know that hehe)
