"tänka" meaning in Swedish

See tänka in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

Audio: Sv-tänka.ogg
Rhymes: -²ɛŋka Etymology: From Old Swedish þænkia, from Middle Low German denken (“to perceive, think”), from Old Saxon thenkian. While nk attests to the Low German origin, the initial t must be due to influence by some inherited cognate. This is probably either tycka (“to have an opinion”) or Old Swedish þækkia (“to seem, think”).
