    • 1915, Dan Andersson, Kolvaktarens Visor, Gengångare:
      Men ve oss, för sent ha vi gått ur vår grav
      för att krämares domare bli -
      de män som skuro vår plågas stav
      äro döda och vandra som vi.
      But woe unto us, too late have we went out of our grave
      to become the judgers of mongers -
      the men who cut the staff of our torment
      are dead, and wander like we.
  3. (with ner (“down”)) to cut; to make reductions in a budget or the like
  4. (reflexive) to cut oneself; to accidentally or intentionally hurt oneself with a sharp object

Usage notes
  • Highly proscribed forms skärde and skärt are used colloquially along with the prescribed skar and skurit.
  • For cutting with scissors or shears or the like with a snipping motion, klippa is used. Using skära with scissors or shears implies one of the blades is being used like a knife.
