In my job I have to do with many countries. Once I had to do with a Norwegian customer whom I'd called in the office "the coolest customer of ours". Really a nice man. Of the northern countries the one I am dealing with the most is Finland, whose language is not related to german languages, still it is very fun to pronounce, even if difficult to learn. Then India, but this is another story!

O, that was easy - and interesting. You have noticed the remarkable similarity with the English language ...the Nordic languages are similar in many things. :DHar du lagt merke til slående likhet med det engelske språk...de nordiske språkene er like på mange ting. ;D ;D Ooops, that would have been nearly impossible without the translation.There's a word that looks like Dutch as well. You know what comes into my mind now? My favorite professors' Old English translation course. It was every friday morning at the worst possible time : 8.00 am. Thursday night was 'students party night', but somehow I always managed to drag myself to this lesson. I don't remember what all those Middle/old English texts were about, except one : it was about a Viking king and his warriors sailing up the Tyne and slaughtering the local population. ;D

Then India, but this is another story! We have a decent number of Finnish women on the island. It's funny to listen to indeed. It's related to Hungarian and Turkish, isn't it? Have you been to India?

i think the chorus for burger kingdom lyrics is: HELP HER FIND A HOME FIND THE BURGER KINGDOM.... After having listened "burger kingdom" almost 100 times and as we had doubts about what he sings in the background, I am pretty sure he goes: "BABY, HUNGRY, SHE NEVER GOES OUT WITH ANYONE OH NO NO....." ;D poor thing............ ;D

Sorry, I missed some posts. Thank you Vicky, sometimes it is interesting, some others it is a p.i.t.a. but one has to work. No Liesbet, I have never been to India and I think I never will, first because when I have a holiday I prefer to go somewhere quiet and clean, second because the Indians I have known have not left a good impression on me.
