Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from Middle Low German stūken. Cognate of German stauchen. Compare origin of stock, stöka.

Verb

[edit]

stuka (present stukar, preterite stukade, supine stukat, imperative stuka)

  1. to sprain (injure a body part through wrenching)
    Hon stukade foten
    She sprained her ankle

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Usually implies a more serious injury compared to vricka (twist).
  • You idiomatically sprain your foot rather than your ankle (fotled) in Swedish, though "stuka handleden" (sprain one's wrist) appears to be more common than "stuka handen" (sprain one's hand).
