Lagom is a Swedish word
that does not have an exact translation into many other languages. It means
something like: "just right", or "exactly enough, not too much nor too
little." Sometimes it is even used as "Enough, but barely so". It is a very
convenient word and I miss it when I speak other languages (i.e. Dutch and
English), but I hope non-Swedes will realize the beauty of this word and
will start using it. [pronunciation of "lagom", mp3]
Nevertheless, this web site is merely meant as a repository for the
few things I'd like to share with the world.
