We hate it when people think that most of the Finns are speaking Swedish. Only about 200,000 people here actually speak Swedish andd the rest (about 5 million) speak Finnish. We Finns hate Swedes for one or more reasons y'know. The Norwegian have their own language, but it's very similiar to Swedish and Danish.
Just giving a little information on that. I'm not here to start a language war.

I'm not very good at Spanish or Italian, so I'd like to learn more of them. Russian is also pretty interesting. Hopefully they'll replace Swedish at some point, I've never liked studying it...

^_^ Yeah you are going to have some problems but if you want to be a smart ass you have to learn the new letters such as: ? ? ?

:grad: ? is an A&E pronounced twice as fast as you would normally pronounce a vocal (this is the same rule with the other letters)

:grad: ? is an O&E

:grad: ? is a double A = AA

if you learn to pronounce these right you will be in front of the rest of the class for atleast three month

Where did you find that movie :laugh:

Ooh, did you wind up marrying Surajo or did you find someone else?

My answer would have to be Russian, German, Hebrew, Navajo, and yeah. I also would like to learn Welsh and expand my Spanish vocabulary since I'm Welsh and Honduran and want to be cheesy.

Shhh! Don't listen to this man, we own Norway. :shifty:



I could say this. Norwegians and Swedes understand eachother very well, and I know a decent amount of Finish people are taught Swedish in school. A Swede or Norweigan would never understand Finish though.
And the Danish are just all around odd.

Europe has many currencies.

I dabbled in Hebrew for a season, not seriously though, because I came across an http://www.flickr.com/photos/25411109@N05/2689141613/in/photostream/ to be used in http://www.flickr.com/photos/25411109@N05/2513981902/in/photostream/ I didn't get very far because there are other things to do, but I could always copy an existing text for FUN.

DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS OUTSIDE :tongue:


You guys never owned anything though you got http://www.24.dk/group/historien/forum/thread/2048282 :whistling:

At Blockbuster (US movie rental store). There was just one sitting on the shelf looking lonely so I thought someone should rent it. Had no idea it was Danish with English subtitles. I liked Jakob Cedergren (played the cop) - he's pretty cool. Oh, thanks for the pronunciation help!

Then stop invading our waters during the summer! Big obnoxious Danish motor boats are all over the place when I want to sail, calmly!
Although I've found water baloons to be super effective against that. :chaos:

Thanks for the somewhat cheap beer though.
And cool border map there, didn't know the Danish where that widespread once.

:rofl: ...!!!LOL!!!... :rofl:

Yeah we got beer, you got http://www.google.dk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.meyersmadhus.dk/uploads/m_product/14663_picture_small_1401_1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.meyersmadhus.dk/da/webshop/kolonialvarer/gryn_ris_og_mel.html&usg=__yQ1LnflsZpcuNUsiUpJFoWW_YIQ=&h=188&w=141&sz=20&hl=da&start=356&sig2=tQCPNk3CPrhJ9yfsPnZVNQ&zoom=1&tbnid=gF0oVBYWbOfT-M:&tbnh=127&tbnw=96&ei=auNiTceuPIaAOuqerK0N&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dkn%25C3%25A6kbr%25C3%25B8d%26um%3D1%26hl%3Dda%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1024%26bih%3D546%26tbs%3Disch:11%2C9451&chk=sbg&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=461&vpy=159&dur=353&hovh=150&hovw=112&tx=58&ty=74&oei=XeNiTeO8AcagOpKc-M8J&page=23&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:356&biw=1024&bih=546 :tongue:

You say things betterthan me without offending.



I thought it was just pounds, Euros, Kronar (SP ?) and Rubbles (russian arent they ?).

:P


I found that ou from http://satwcomic.com/they-grow-up-so-fast Not exactly a good place for facts, but its interesting.
...Are the Danish actually a bit racist without meaning anything ?
No offense to any Danes. I dont need more people annoyed after I pissed of Finns and probablly Norwegians.

Beginning to read like a Skyrim preview.... :woot:

*goes for the popcorn*

What ?

Nothing. I'm crazy.

only 10% of the words there is Danish :shrug:



Are we racist.....Yeah we are.......or some of us are.....about 16% of us are.......but 16% of us also get hemorrhoids so it makes sense :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

The Czech Koruna
The Hungarian Forint
The Macedonian Denar
The Romanian Leu
The Serbian Dinar
The Swiss Franc
The Ukrainian Hryvnia
The Latvian Lats
The Georgian Lari
The Bosnia and Herzegovina convertible mark
The Croatian Kuna

:whisper: It was a joke.

Well damn lots of currencies.

There are two. Japanese, it is this nerd's dream to one day visit. And for practical reasons, Spanish. It's a plus on many job searches.

Hah, that's qutie funny.
Didn't know the Danih felt hatered towards us though, and going by that they do.

Latin, which I currently am trying to.

As or this Norway/Finland/Sweden thing...

Norway was at a point under swedish rule and danish rule. As for Norway and Finland, there's almost no relation in language, other than that norwgian and swedish is similiar and that swedish is also spoken in Finland. But that's about it. @Ratslayer: We do not speak swedish or a different form of it in Norway.

We dont hate you. it is just that after that kid got hid by a Volvo......after that...we changed :tongue:

Ok, just thought you would have if Sweden rulled your country, like how everyone in the UK speaks english, and lots of places the UK ruled do too.

Is Norwegian similar ?

Spanish

The British Empire was much more recent.

As I understand it, most of the Nordic langauges are similar enough that they are more or less mutually understandable (if they speak loudly and slowly enough ), but are far from the same. Finnish is more closely related to Hungarian than Danish.

Far, far more English speakers than French speakers. With few exceptions, you'll only find French speakers in one province.

I tried learning Highland Gaelic just for jokes a while back -- my family spoke it before coming to Canada; my grandmother was the last to speak it -- and while I didn't have all that much trouble picking it up, I came to realize that it was pretty pointless to learn. Nobody around here speaks it, even online (forums, etc) there is very little opportunity to use what I would learn, so I'd just end up forgetting it all in short order anyhow.
