Titania (gone for lunch)

Amusing myself by trying to come with new words (in Swedish, right now).

'Svenne' is Swedish slang for a Swede, 'Finne' is Swedish slang for a Finn.

I was thinking of 'Svennefinne' but that sounded kind of lame - changing one letter made a little bit of difference.

But I'm not sure I'm finished yet.

Yes, I was recently reminded of my poor knowledge of Finnish when one of my colleagues came to me with a document and asked if I knew what it said.

And I didn't. Except for a few words. But then, an application form for the Finnish Patent and Registration Office doesn't exactly contain words you might come across at a conversation at the dinner table. Which is basically what I know when it comes to Finnish; how to talk and make conversation.

Svennofinne sounds like a cross between a Swede, a Norwegian and a Finn to me
