Etymology[edit]
Attested since 1910, of uncertain origin with at least two proposed etymologies:
- From a dialectal verb macka (“to work, to finish”), related to German machen (“to make”).
- From Tavringer Romani macka (“to grease, to cream, to butter”), from Romani mak (“grease, lubricant”). Related to Sanskrit म्रक्षति (mrakṣati, “to smear”) and Hindi मक्खन (makkhan, “butter”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
macka c
- (colloquial) an (open) sandwich (slice(s) of bread with toppings, usually buttered)
- (sports, colloquial) a beautiful pass
Usage notes[edit]
- Open sandwiches are the most common type in Swedish cuisine. A sandwich with two pieces of bread can be qualified as a dubbelmacka.
- Almost always buttered (in addition to any toppings), unbuttered bread being considered dry.
