The past in Swedish = dÃ¥tid, which translated back to English is “then-time”
• the time that was then, before now
The present in Swedish = nutid, which translated back to English is “now-time”
• (self-explanatory)
The future in Swedish = framtid, which translated back to English is “front-time”
• the time that is in front of us
An example of how languages can illustrate abstractions like time very differently.
The Present has a slightly different feel than Now-time.
And compare the theatrical FUTURE to the more pragmatic Front-time.
