Fun facts about the Swedish language #2

We have a bit of a moon moon thing going on when it comes to family.

Mother: Mor (old term, usually called mamma nowadays) Father: Far (also an old term, usually called pappa)

Grandmother on our father’s side: Farmor (father mother) Grandmother on our mother’s side: Mormor (mother mother) Grandfather on our father’s side: Farfar (father father) Grandfother on our mother’s side: Morfar (mother father)

Still pretty logical, right? Then comes the children and the grandchildren. There’s some serious moon moon going on here. 

Child: Barn Grandchild: Barnbarn (childchild) Great grandchild: Barnbarnsbarn (childchild’s child) Great great grandchild: Barnbarns barnbarn (childchild’s child child)

It never stops. Barnbarns barnbarns barn. Barnbarns barnbarns barnbarn. Barnbarns barnbarns barnbarns barn. The Swedish language is ridiculous.

“Lesbian” movies be like

-“I’m in a relationship with a guy but you’re so hot and this is so wrong” -“you’re my teacher but you’re so hot and this is so wrong” -“there’s so much drama and one of us is gonna die” -“I’ve only ever been with men but you’re different and the only label we can come up with for this is ‘lesbian’” -“I’m in a loveless marriage and you’re so young and sexy but I’ll end up with my husband anyway”

Both.
