Avfyra sounds slightly more technical in Swedish, like a bit more towards discharge. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== See also ==== skita sköta skjut skuta skott skydda skytt skytte trycka träffa (“hit”) === References === “skjuta”, in Svensk ordbok [Dictionary of Swedish] (in Swedish) “framtid”, in Svensk ordbok [Dictionary of Swedish] (in Swedish) “skjuta”, in Svenska Akademiens ordlista [Wordlist of the Swedish Academy] (in Swedish) “skjuta”, in Svenska Akademiens ordbok [Dictionary of the Swedish Academy] (in Swedish)
