Jag svek Tom.

Sentence Discussions Swedish
#1
English Translation

I let Tom down.

Would “Jag besvek Tom.” also be right? Could I add it as an alternative answer?

As I understand it, “att svika” can also mean “to betray”. But if the meaning is “to disappoint”, is there a difference between att svika and att besvika?

There is no verb “besvika”. :slight_smile:

“To betray” as in “betray one’s country”, you have “förråda”. For “to disappoint”, you can also use “göra besviken”.
