This meme has been around long enough that I’m sure this has been done, but I couldn’t find one, so I made my own \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"keep_calm\"<\/p>\n

When I initially went to write the text, I just figured TALA<\/strong> was the correct form of the imperative, but wasn’t really sure why. I thought I had read something somewhere sometime and it just stuck in my head. Then I started to wonder about it, and searched around a bit. The form I used is actually the short<\/em> or truncated<\/em> (st\u00fdf\u00f0ur bo\u00f0h\u00e1ttur<\/strong>), which seems to be used when the command isn’t directed at anyone in particular. I talked a little bit about the imperative in a previous post<\/a>, but not the short form. I found a thread on the wordreference.com forums<\/a> where this was discussed. One example someone gave was saying “Kom inn!<\/strong>” rather than “Komdu\/komi\u00f0 inn!<\/strong>” when there’s a knock at the door, since you don’t know who is on the other side.<\/p>\n

So I believe this is the correct way to say it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
