Verb

-bamba

  1. to get hold of, to catch, to grasp, to hold

Inflection

This verb needs an inflection-table template.

Swedish
FWOTD – 18 January 2022

Etymology

Probably shortening of barnbespisning. The traditional Gothenburg dialect has no retroflex consonants, so barn would be pronounced ban, and then /n/ assimilated to /m/ in front of /b/.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ˈbamba/
  • Rhymes: -amba

Noun

bamba c

  1. (dialectal, Gothenburg) school canteen
    • 2019, Ulrika Karlsson, “Skola utrymd efter brand – elever får gå hem [School evacuated after fire – pupils have to go home]”, in Göteborgs-Posten‎:
      Det var en elcentral i närheten av bamba som brann, och det var ganska mycket rökspridning i lokalen[…]
      It was a distribution box near the school canteen that was burning, and quite a lot of smoke spreading in the room[…]
