    You didn’t explain it originally. You could have easily but you didn’t. Apologies for being curious. I do know that most Swedes aren’t jerks.

      I try to not be a jerk, and this is what I wrote in my inital comment in this thread.

      we group onions and garlic together by using the word “lök” with a color and different spacing to differentiate them:

      So yes, I did mention the spacing

        No one said you didn’t.

        “vitlök” - garlic

        We never talk about “vit lök”, it doesn’t really exist as a concept in Swedish, but we have more types of “lök”…

        You did not define what it means with the space though, and you were kind of arrogant when I asked.

        Not to mention it doesn’t really make sense to say there is a term for something that doesn’t exist. Which btw does exist. Most onions are white. So either get better at explaining or have patience with a question. I actually wanted to know. I intended to come across in a joking way because I obviously know garlic is used worldwide these days.

          Your inital question was about us not having garlic in Sweden, when I litterarly wrote that in my inital post, hence the downvote, I even explained the difference the spacing makes in the reply to you.

          Then you started whining about downvotes…

            Whatever dude. I know what happened and I stand firm you’re a jerk. Tagged as such, and I won’t make the mistake with you again

            Ps you are terrible at explanations and understanding another perspective
