Can you devise a superior sentence? (Don’t have to if you don’t want to)

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 14 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I don't need to, there were several alternatives on Wikipedia:

  1. Yxmördaren Julia Blomqvist på fäktning i Schweiz
  2. Schweiz för lyxfjäder på qvist bakom ugn
  3. FAQ om Schweiz: Klöv du trång pjäxby? - this is an incomprehensible sentence, though it must be said, it does sound Swedish when spoken.
  4. Yxskaftbud, ge vår WC-zonmö IQ-hjälp - this is also incomprehensible, plus the first word seems to be misspelled, it should be "Yxskaftsbud", the missing s makes it hard to pronounce
  5. Gud hjälpe Zorns mö qwickt få byx av - a sentence with old spellings and words, and rather naughty meaning, this sentence also misses the letter V, in the past when w and v could be used interchangeably it would be a proper pangram.
  6. Byxfjärmat föl gick på duvshowen - misses Q and Z, but has the combinations fj and fö, which is very useful to test fonts for Swedish compabillity.
  7. Tjock ges BMW på quiz, hänförd av lyx - one of the best pangrams here, it contains every letter and, even better, is perfectly logical.

I checked the same Wiki and I think no one can beat Finland's one-word pangram: Törkylempijävongahdus ("the more you think, the more you'll be able to do it")

That translation is way off, it would be more like "the yelp of a trashy lover".

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 1 points 6 months ago

Cool, thanks! I wonder where Google Translate got the other idea from.

Just fyi, number 5 isn't missing the letter v, "av".
