Why would this have anything to do with election results? Five of the parties in the Riksdag use botanical symbols, but people don’t vote for them because they really like roses or clover.
I am so happy I live where tax filing is online and takes 10 minutes, tops, only because I own a farm and sold some stocks. Otherwise it would take less than a minute.
I have an old ‘Nordiskt Konversations lexicon’ from the 20’s, a ‘handbook in common knowledge’, that I am wandering through. I only have volume 2 but it should last me awhile.
I speak swedish which is one reason I thought the cartoon more stupid than funny. I cannot explain the fj sound but I can pronounce it. A swedish J is usually pronounced as the english y consonant. Learning to consistently pronounce a j in english can cause trouble for swedes, my wife always called yeast ‘jeast’ because that sound has to be converted when speaking english. Don’t get me started on the various sj, sk, skj, stj, and k before (i e y ä ö) spellings which I pronounce ‘sh’ but for which swedes use a sound you have to hear in the womb to reproduce :-)
Bjästa hjärnan djur pjoska sjäppa ljuga are actual words using the letter j with other consonants. Interesting that fjord changes to fjärd in Blekinge and stays fjärd around the Baltic. Also, none of these combinations are pronounced as dipthongs, so not feeyord as blunebottle would have it, just fjord.
