[quote="JDeHaes"]VC+QoPR: Wow, Swedish and finnish completely different languages :p (but aren't they close to each other?)
TheIvanMuse: Thanks for the topic!
QoPR: Swedish seems quite familiar to Dutch. What are Good morning and good evening thanks/please in Swedish?
VC: Wut are thx and plz in finnish?
Srry if I'm askint too much
[/quote]
We're close to each other geographically but language-wise, there's a HUGE difference lol. I don't understand Finnish at all. It's VERY different from Swedish.
As for Swedish being similar to Dutch, some words are but generally..not so much. It's more similar to German because Germany had a big influence on us back in the 12th century something. Lots of German people worked and lived in Sweden during that time and thus, the language was also influenced.
Swedish words:
Good morning = God morgon
Good evening = God kväll
Thanks = Tack
Please = Tack/Snälla

Hey, all you people. If any of you knew how to speak Scottish and could teach me, I would be forever in your debt. I would like to learn to speak Swedish and Scottish as they are where my ancestors decended. ^^ I'm almost half Scottish.

I think they do, but I thought they had a language. Maybe it was Irish I'm thinking of...

I always felt like studying German =o
Sometimes I simply sit down and write because I cannot help it. Who knows, perhaps one day something will come out of it. Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else.

I could try to teach you some Swedish but I warn you, it's a very difficult language to learn. Although if you're determined enough, it's definitely doable =) So don't be discouraged hehe.
Are there are Spanish-speakers around here? I'm studying Spanish and would love it if someone was willing to teach me more..=D
