editEtymology 1
editRelated to jävel and Norwegian jævla. Probably a relatively newer curse word, because no other Scandinavian language has it in the same way of use (except when it is humorously used as an unadapted borrowing in Norwegian).

editjävlar
- (swear word, sometimes followed by också) damn, damnit
- Synonyms: (euphemistic) jäklar, (euphemistic) jädrar, (euphemistic) järnspikar
- Jävlar också! ― Damnit!
Usage notes
editCloser to English fuck than damn in offensiveness.
