Can be more neutral when of children, and also include crying for more serious reasons. The association is to cry in the manner of a child, roughly, without inherent implications. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== grinig ==== See also ==== böla fälla tårar lipa tjuta yla === References === “grina”, in Svensk ordbok [Dictionary of Swedish] (in Swedish) “grina”, in Svenska Akademiens ordlista [Wordlist of the Swedish Academy] (in Swedish) “grina”, in Svenska Akademiens ordbok [Dictionary of the Swedish Academy] (in Swedish) === Anagrams === ringa
