seger Explanation: As my competitor said: You'll find it in any dictionary! PLEASE NOTE: "triumf" is WRONG. "triumf" is following a "seger"; as a result of the "seger"! Just as in English! Native English and Swedish speaker. |

Seger or vinst or triumf Explanation: My collegue's answer above prompts me to be a bit more specific: There are two common words for victory: Seger and vinst. EG: The full translation of your sentence would thus be: "Lagets första seger" or "Lagets första vinst" However, metaphorically (or figuratively) spoken, the word triumf (eng. triumph) can also be used, which for instance occurs a lot in paper headlines, as I'm sure you can imagine. The reference for this is also mentioned below. Furthermore, I humbly think that the victory occurs after the game is completed, as does the triumph. Norstedts, Stora Engelska Ordboken |

seger Explanation: Förtydligande till ställningstagande i tidigare svar: Om det gäller att översätta för kvällstidningarna så är "triumf" helt OK, men om det bedrivs seriöst översättningsarbete så är det HELT FÖRKASTLIGT! "triumf" (och "triumph") kommer från latin och betyder "fira segern". I det gamla Rom firades framgångsrika genelaler och admiraler med triumftåg beordrade av kejsaren. Det kunde ske år efter segern! I vår moderna elektoniska värld är det inte längre år, men millisekunder, mellan seger och triumf, men faktumet består: DET ÄR INTE SAMMA SAK! (Expressen och Aftonbladet är naturligtvis undantagna!) Sven. Svenska Akademien, Expressen och Aftonbladet! |
