“som fisken i vattnet”

vara ute i ogjort väder

to have gone to no avail

ta för givet

to take for granted

i så fall

in that case

Ha ett finger med i spelet

To be involved in something.

hungrig som en varg

very hungry

då och då

from time to time

falla i god jord

to be well received

tappa fattningen

to lose one's composure
