sometimes i think about how swedish is a really weird language so here are some literally translated swedish words

flodhäst - river horse (hippo)

igelkott - leech [pine] cone (hedgehog)

tvättbjörn - wash bear (raccoon)

sugrör - suck pipe (straw)

dammsugare - dust sucker (vaccuum cleaner)

tandkött - tooth meat (gums, my personal favorite)

späckhuggare - lard stabber (orca/killer whale. lard is pig fat)

and some words that have completely innocent meanings in swedish but very different ones in english

fack - compartment

slut - end (which is where you get the lovely slutstation)

fart - speed

puss - kiss

bra - good

prick - spot

prat - talk

kant - edge

kock - chef

My top ten Swedish-language songs in Eurovision Song Contest

After having listened and pondered and listened some more, I came up with a list of my personal top ten Eurovision songs that were performed in the Swedish language at the contest. Then I decided to hand-letter, colour and decorate the list, just because I felt like it. The style of decorations for each song is based on lyrics and vibes.
