FLYMPH FORUM

Martin, Howdy;

I checked the thesaurus;

Main Entry: few
Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: hardly any
Synonyms: exiguous, few and far between, imperceptible, inconsequential, inconsiderable, infrequent, insufficient, lean, less, meager, middling, minor, minority, minute, negligible, not many, not too many, occasional, paltry, petty, piddling, rare, scant, scanty, scarce, scarcely any, scattered, scattering, seldom, semioccasional, short, skimpy, slender, slight, slim, some, sparse , sporadic, stingy, straggling, thin, trifling, uncommon, unfrequent, widely spaced.

The Swedish version;
Huvudtillträde: Få Ordklass: Adjektivdefinition: Knappast några Synonymer: Exiguous, sällsynta, oförnimbar, inkonsekvent, obetydlig, ovanlig, otillräcklig, luta dig, mindre, mager, middling, minderåring, minoritet, minut, negligerbar, inte många, inte för många, tillfällig, paltry, liten, piddling, sällsynt, skannade, knapp, knapp, knappt någon, spridd, sprida, sällan, semioccasional, kort, torftig, smärt, lätt, smal, någon, gles, sporadisk, knusslig, sacka efter, förtunna, leka, sällsynt, unfrequent, vitt spridd.

Barely begins to discribe it...
I just think it's one of the best I've seen.

Agreed. This fly is a study in restraint and precision tying. Admirably well done. It would be impossible to hide a defect in this dressing.

Dang, these are awesome! Minimalism to the tee. Well done.

I'm partial to the sparser the better school.

Me, too.

RnF beat me to "minimalism", so, well-done.

Nope...

Martin, Howdy;

Where did it go wrong? I searched for sparse and this is what showed itself.

Some were correct, but the ones that did not find a Swedish word stuck with the English.
