That of course doesn't come close to what a 'smultronställe' really is though. Simply put it's you alone in nature in a place that causes you to stop worrying.

A place without technology, a place without people. That which brings them all together though, is the fact that its a place of serenity. I agree with Alltat that a the definition of the idiom 'Smultronställe' isnt quiet sufficient sins it is so much more then once 'favorite' place. Alltat ( talk) 14:58, 19 January 2010 (UTC) Reply The Swedish word 'Smultronstället'would directly translate to 'the strawberry place/patch', wild strawberries would have to be 'vilda smultron'. Suffice to say, the English translation isn't anywhere near the actual/intended meaning of the original title. The short description here doesn't do it justice entirely, but I can't think of any better explanation that wouldn't end up unnecessarily lengthy for this article. 惑乱分からん 23:10, 20 April 2006 (UTC) Reply The Swedish word 'smultronställe' has a range of connotations beyond simply a place where one can find wild strawberries, to the point where the word is used idiomatically most of the time. Jizz 12:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Reply Also, in Swedish, the word is also used figuratively as 'one's personal favorite spot'. To say 'wild strawberry patch' without the definite article in Swedish, it'd be 'smultronställe'. In this case the suffix is just the final 't'. The translation is correct as Swedish doesn't have a seperate word for the definite article, they use a suffix. about the inclusion of the definite article, but that's what the commentator said. Swedish-speakers, be bold - I am dubious esp. Inserted the Swedish language title - although I don't know Swedish, my source on the literal translation of the title is the region 1 Criterion DVD commentary. I moved this to Wild Strawberries (movie) because there's a group called Wild Strawberries, and so capitalization alone won't disambiguate.
