- French toast
- Belgian waffles

Whatever a 'lingonberry' is, they're GOOD! I LIKE their Swedish Pancakes!

Most likely if a nice guy had "ideas" for you. I would like it a lot if a nice girl had "ideas". I wouldn't mind at all.

I looked it up in a swe-eng dictionary and there is equivalent word for it in English. They're simply called Lingonberries.

Absolutely!

BTW, I noticed you didn't answer my language question back on the other page.

Are you trying to keep me in the dark?

You're having interesting discussions..!

About Lingonberries, sex and ideas! I'll try to catch up a bit here..

Grey_Wolf, I looked up sex in Swedish... and it gave me 3 different things...

"kön", "älska", and "ligga med varandra"

just curious... which is it?

1. Kön = Sex as in gender/man and woman.

2. Älska = Sex as in making love.

3. Ligga med varandra = sex as in scr*****ing

Je prefère les framboises (raspberries) avec mes crêpes suédoises, mais 'lingonberries' sont delicieux aussi.

I'm trying to figure out what "scr*****ing" is... and I still have no clue.

But thanks for the info...

so if some cute guy asks me if I want to go and Älska... that's good.

And if he asks me what Kön I am... then that's bad... because I obviously look like crap and he can't tell.

Still lost as to what ligga med varandra means, though.

J'ai mange crepes pour le petit dejeuner, souvent. Je les ai faits quand j'etais petit. J'etais le crepe-fabricant dans ma maison.

(I hope that's all right. )

You don't?. Well, at the price of being almost thrown out I will write it out for you. It says "Screwing".

Sex in English and Swedish has the same meanings.

It means sleep with somebody, go to bed with somebody or, as Grey_Wolf so adequately put it, to screw

LOL!!

I assumed each '*' meant a letter and I was trying to fill them in with a letter.

Good to know.

So... "ligga med varandra" is like... hot monkey sex?

Val:

"have you been to Alaska?"
cute femme:

Val:

"WAIT? WHA...?"

Number One 'pick-up line' in Sweden...

and ironically, soon to be #1 in Texas as well!

Ruinel · 01-06-2004, 12:32 PM

ok.. just found a site that does translation...
it says "ligga med varandra" means "sex"
but separately...
ligga - face, lie, stand
med - with, too
varandra - each other, match

so... literally... it means "lie with each other" ... got it.

But does it actually mean hot monkey sex?

No one here knows Swedish... it would go straight over their heads.

You have to be more direct.. like: "nice pants, they'd look great laying in a pile next to my bed."

Yeah, we're all Bergmanian Suicidal Sexmaniacs. That is we've been affected by Ingmar Bergman into committing suicide after having raunchy sex.

Oh, did he? I didn't know that. yeesh... maybe the sex wasn't that great and that's what caused him to go over the edge. -joking... I shouldn't joke about such a thing, I'm sure he was very distraught about something.

And speak for yourself, I'm not a sexmaniac.

I happen to think of at least 3 other things other than sex each day.
