Etymology 1

Related to jävel and Norwegian jævla. Probably a relatively newer curse word, because no other Scandinavian language has it in the same way of use (except when it is humorously used as an unadapted borrowing in Norwegian).

Interjection

jävlar

  1. (swear word, sometimes followed by också) damn, damn it
    Jävlar också!
    Damn it!
Usage notes

Closer to English fuck than damn in offensiveness.

Synonyms

All are euphemistic.
