smörgåsblogg
While today probably won't be my last day of Swedish class ever, it is my last day for at least two months--a much needed break. I thought I'd mark the occasion by sharing all of my least favorite Swedish words:
föräldrar (parents)
fåtölj (armchair)
följer (follow/accompany)
sjuksköterska (nurse)
om (about, round, if, of, by, again)
är (am/are/is)
var (where/were/was)
har (have)
I don't like the first four because they are difficult to pronounce; I don't like "om" because it has too many possible meanings; and I don't like the last three because even though they are not hard to pronounce, I ALWAYS say them wrong anyways: är should sound something like "air" but I tend to say "are," var should sound like "vaar" but I tend to say "vair," and har should sound like "haar," but I always say "hair."
My favorite Swedish words are:
smutsig (filthy/muddy)
mysig (cosy)
In other news, we had our first snow this morning! It only flurried, but it was lovely. Sorry, no picture.
