Can anybody tell me what does ’ont’ mean? And what does ’det gör ont’ mean? Thanks.

Ont means pain. Det gör ont means It hurts.

I see... thanks Tev, the phrase construction is like Italian... we also say it does pain (which in English is unacceptable).

In dutch also:

Het doet pijn
It does hurt

Same in German. Construction with “do”.
