How can I translate the following two words from Swedish into English:
Stark and Grovkornig?

Hi maxholloway,

I was able to find the word 'stark' and translate it from Swedish to English.

I didn't have the same success with Grovkornig.  I found many
references to the word within Swedish websites, but was unable to find
a translation.

Here is what I found on the word Stark:
http://lexikon.nada.kth.se/cgi-bin/swe-eng

Swedish entry word
stark [star:k] starkt starka adj. 
som har stor styrka, kraftfull (of living creatures; figuratively "powerful") 

English translation
strong 
as opposed to weak, mild 


Examples
starka armar---strong arms 
stark regering---strong government 
stark kyla---severe cold 

*****

Swedish entry word
stark [star:k] starkt starka adj. 
som intensivt påverkar sinnena 

English translation
strong 


Examples
starkt kaffe---strong coffee 
stark ost---strong cheese 
starka drycker---strong drinks 

*****

Swedish entry word
stark [star:k] starkt starka adj. 
slitstark, hållbar 

English translation
durable, lasting, solid 
as opposed to fragile, brittle, perishable 


Examples
ett starkt tyg---strong fabric 



Hopefully another researcher will have better luck with the other word.

Best regards,

"Swedish    
 grovkornig (coarse grained, rude, scurrilous)"

http://www.websters-dictionary-online.org/definition/english/gr/grained.html

Here's an example, from a Swedish recipe for Easter pasta salad, of
"stark" and "grovkornig" used together:

"stark grovkornig senap"

http://www.hopkok.net/index.php?page=view_recipe&recipeid=298

This translates as "strong coarse-grained mustard."
