h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sorry you said part swedish don't know any swedish perhaps you could teach me? I'm a student too what do you study?

Mech eng.
basic conversation in swedish
"hey"-hi
"hur gar det"-hows it going
"min van tyker om dej"-my mate thinks you're fit
thats if you are thinking of going there.Swedish slanf is even harder to get hold of. A hip greeting is started with "cha" (no not a swedish word i know of) and ending in "chow". mmmmmm. then you get a lot of "common english phrases" which are lazily put in such as "super nice" (say it in a swedish accent for the full effect) which we use all the time in England (sic).

and lets not forget "Jag alskar dig" (I think that that is spelt correctly... it has been a VERY long time...)


Oh, btw... excuse my intrusion

Thanks for that you two am keen on doing a circular trip around Europe starting off in the south of England then going through france etc and ending up in sweden, norway and Scotland.

Well done Commander Natai
I'm sure you will charm even the most ice cold Swedish beauties with that phrase in a suave English accent (asuming you are English)
I would very much advise you
opti loves natai ...hang on a minuite are you two in love? how delightfully charming. anyway yes i would advise both of you (on a honeymoon even) to go to Sweden. and as i go there every summer, the best place is the Stockholm skargard (archipelago) which has 22000 islands! catch a ferry to Uto, Rodloga, Sandhamn, and Bullaro and your search for natural beauty will be complete. (sorry o with two dots over in place names are missing)
second best place is Stockholm itself although it is very beatiful city, a pint is £4 equivalent and you have to be over 23 for most places. not exactly a student night out.

Actually I am Australian I haven't been to Sweden, but I did visit their neighbours (Norway) about 5 years ago. Managed to pick up a little bit of their language (forgotten most of it) but I do recall that phrase still... and that it is very similar in Norwegian and Swedish (as the languages are fairly similar)

I'm not sure I like the idea of natai charming anyone else except me ... would like to stop off in Sweden though perhaps with Natai ... we haven't met one another yet in rl though ...

I will try my best to be mean and nasty to everyone else then hon

I'm not saying you should be mean and nasty to everyone just be your gorgeous self

ok hon, I'll try

Natai I think we've taken over this thread as well! where's our friend gone?

Dunno... hehe, actually it seems to be a little funny... we join a thread and the owner just ups and leaves...

ah well they'll be back in some form I hope

Autralian! bril. sorry time differences mean that you will have to wait a day for me to reply, because i'm online at about 9-11pm here meaning you will have to be awake in the ealy hours of the morning to have a conv. sorry. yes norway to sweden is a bit like scotland in comparison to england, accentwise. Sweden is better though, more beautiful, has slightly more people and slightly cheaper.
and would you kindly not enthusiastically flirt with each other in public (in My personal space makes it even worse). very un-english like and therefore has got to be wrong.

I'm so sorry that we did that I'll put a stop to that right now *ties up lips with string so no flirtation can take plce* ... maybe I should change my origin.

I can't wait for this Europe trip now I've been given this insight

Ahh, but you see Opti, I am not bound to the asme English constraints therefore I can flirt with you, and it would be rude of you not to flirt back

*removes string* phew I can breathe again its awful trying to work without a mouth I think the owner of this thread has a point though gorgeous lets continue our flirtation else where

Ok... I'll be good

not sure i like that idea but I'll leave you to be good here
