Till Fjälls - a play on words?

[Thidrek]

A few weeks ago i went to the next IKEA store )) and read some titles of the books standing in the shelves. And there was one named "Tillfjällig ..." (or so) and I think it means something like "by accident". The first I thought of after this happenig was the song "TillFjälls" of Vintersorg. So could it be that there is a play on words in the lyric? Is it only in the title or straight through the whole song?
Could someone explain it to me?

I believe "Till Fjälls" translates to "To The Mountains." I could be wrong, but I don't think it's a play on words.

The swedish word is "tillfällig", there's no j I'm afraid.

 

[Thidrek]

Oh, but it sounds much similar. So there could be a relation! or not?

 

[amf]

No releation between them.
Like with the english words "feet" and "feel". They are somewat similar but have nothing else in common.

Correct Norwegian contra swedish is almost the same. Til Fjälls in norwegian = Til Fjells And indeed that is "To The Mountains"

I have a question about this, too:

The name of the album is Till Fjälls; what is the purpose of the 's' in 'fjälls'? Why isn't it Till Fjällarna or whatever? =\

Tillfällig means Temporary, and not "by accident"

I'm not an expert but as far as I know there are simply expressions with "till" that are bulit not in the "usual" way, but like here with the s at the end. Other examples being till hands, till döds........hm, that's all I can think of right now

Quite easy the way the grammar is in Swedish

One could say "till fjällen"; "till fjälls" is more rural/archaic form of it though which fits the music better

Hey, if you want to learn Swedish grammar there is only one easy way. Die and be reborn in Sweden

 

[Höögör]

Ok.

 

[Thidrek]

@stefader: No way! I have learned Latin for 6 years in school, I'm used to everything you can imagine!

 

[Gaunerin]

Thidrek, are you currently in a Swedish course?

 

[Thidrek]

No, but I think it cannot be that complicated..
Even because they haven't got a difficult declination. You can say Jag hör, du hör etc. not like Ich höre, du hörst, er/sie/es hört..
