lustiga

Lustiga is a Swedish adjective used to describe something that is funny or amusing. It is the plural indefinite form of lustig and is used before plural nouns in the indefinite sense. Examples include lustiga historier (funny stories) and lustiga människor (funny people).

Swedish adjectives decline for number and definiteness. The neuter singular form is lustigt, as in ett lustigt ord (a funny word). For definite forms, you have den lustiga mannen (the funny man) and det lustiga ordet (the funny word). In definite plural, it is de lustiga människorna (the funny people). The plural indefinite remains lustiga, as in lustiga historier (funny stories).

Lustiga derives from lustig, with roots in the Germanic language family and cognate with similar terms in other languages meaning "pleasant" or "merry."

Usage notes: The primary sense is humorous or entertaining; it does not generally convey sexual meaning. In modern Swedish, the word is used in everyday speech and writing to describe humor or merriment.
