HG>EV>I've read articles where the writer called them Valves.
HG>EV>In your area do you call them Valves or Tubes?  Thanks.

HG>See, we talk swedish here so we don't use either but in Great Britain
HG>they are called valves while in US-english they are tubes.

 EV> Would you tell me how you would write the Swedish word for a vacuum
 EV> tube?

i don't know how accurate it is but i'm able to use it fairly well most times...

select english as the originating language and swedish as the destination language ;)


vacuum tube = vakuum”r, vakuumr”ret, vakuumr”rmontaget, sugr”r, sugr”ret

the first two, when converting from swedish to english come back as vacuum
tube... the second one seems to actually be two words, vakuumr”r montaget,
which comes back as "vacuum tube assembly"... the last two are
straws and straw which i suppose drinking straws are tubes that you suck a
vacuum thru to get your beverage, eh? ;)

 EV> And while you are at it, what is the Swedish word for a Transistor.

transistor = transistor, transistorn, transistorns, transistom


i'm curious to see what holger responds with and if there's any
clarification of what my results are :)
