[Xmca-l] The notion activity

[Hans Knutagård]

Hi,

I am struggling with the notion activity and how to explain that in a Swedish context. I find myself using a notion between work and activity but that is the word I would like to explain for the Swedish audience. In Sweden we use verksamhet but that word could also aim at organization. I found that the russian word is dejatelnost or деятельность but where could I find a good explanation for that? Even though it is not in Swedish.

Thank you for all input

Yours
