SWEDISH


Arbete = Means work. Swedes dont like it, don't mention it

Juttu = A stupid finnsh word, don't care about it.

Katt = A little stupid, very popular animal in Sweden

Fan = Ugly word. Often used combined with other swedish words like: "Kattfan", wich usually means that the Katt has done something in the livingroom that it shuldn't have done if it wanted to stay alive.

Frimärkssamling = Stamp-collection. Swedes has since the Viking-ages collected stamps as a hobby.

Stuga = A little house in the country.

Sörpling = A noise that Swedes (mostly the old ones) make when they are drinking Coffe. It's their way to say "this coffe is good, but hot".
