Swedish

Etymology 1

From French drogue.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /droːɡ/

Noun

drog c

1. a drug, a narcotic

   I våldets Sverige får hederliga medborgare flytta åt sidan, i rädsla för att va' [vara] nästa som drabbats av våldsverkaren. Med vapen i hand, med drogögon mitt i ansiktet, så vet vi inte vad den här personen är kapabel att göra.

   In a Sweden plagued by violence [in the violence's Sweden], honest citizens get to move aside, out of fear of being the next person to have been [perhaps misspoken – "drabbas" would be "to be"] struck by [affected by, of something negative] the assailant [person who commits a violent act (often)]. With weapon in hand, with drug eyes right in the middle of the face [sic], we don't know what this person is capable of doing. ((in)famous quote from a speech by Swedish ex-prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt)

Usage notes

Läkemedel or medicin are the usual terms for drugs used medically. Drog leans heavily towards illegal recreational drugs in Swedish.
