- Comparison: Sur vs. Syrlig
- 'Sur' is the general term for sour, like a lemon. 'Syrlig' is a milder, often pleasant tartness, like in yogurt or a good salad dressing. You can have 'sur' milk (spoiled), but you'd describe a good wine as 'syrlig'.
- Comparison: Sur vs. Søt
- These are opposites. 'Sur' is sour (lemons, unripe apples), while 'søt' is sweet (sugar, ripe berries). A fruit can be both, e.g., 'en søt og sur eple' (a sweet and sour apple).
