Usage notes
[edit]- Except not sounding literary or formal, the meaning of fram is usually best captured by English forth. Like forth, fram can mean both forward and out (of for example something being brought out/forth, or coming out/forth (thus appearing into view)).
- (sense 2) can be thought of as forth with an often implied "to the destination."
- Used for spatial, either of movement through or of position in space, as well as temporal adverbials; in the latter usage it will often correspond to later on. It is also a particle used in the formation of Swedish phrasal verbs, e.g. "ta fram" = "bring forth" = "bring out, develop."
