Etymology
Borrowed from Middle Low German stūken. Cognate of German stauchen. Compare origin of stock, stöka.
Verb
stuka (present stukar, preterite stukade, supine stukat, imperative stuka)
- to sprain (injure a body part through wrenching)
- Hon stukade foten
- She sprained her ankle
Usage notes
- Usually implies a more serious injury compared to vricka (“twist”).
- You idiomatically sprain your foot rather than your ankle (fotled) in Swedish, though "stuka handleden" (sprain one's wrist) appears to be more common than "stuka handen" (sprain one's hand).
