Comment on Skapa, a parametric 3D printing app like an IKEA manual (2025)Comments−mitchbob7moFYI, the Swedish verb for "to create" is "skapa," not "skåpa."https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/swedish-english/...Suggest you use the correct word for the name of the app.−kreetx7moThe "å" will be harder to find on peoples' keyboards..−kaffekaka7moYou are right of course. But "skåp" means cabinet so "skåpa" could be understood as "build a cabinet", for those who enjoy that kind of pun.−retSava7moTo add and not nitpick, but to add the 'a' to the subjective, we make a verb out of it. But it's not immediately obvious what that means, could also be "to put in a cabinet" (which would be my interpretation). Languages are fun :)−kaffekaka7moAh yes, skåpa would be a made up verb indeed.
