IKEA? Most items have people’s names or ...Oreneta,<br /><br />IKEA? Most items have people’s names or place names. Then some have names that have some sort of connection to the use of the item itself.<br /><br />There is for instance a sofabed called BEDDINGE, which is a place in the south of Sweden, but also refers to the Swedish word for bed, which is BÄDD, pronounced just like the English word BED. So, ha ha!<br /><br />There are some ingenious names like LÖDDER (lather, soap suds) for a bucket and similar products, and also BLASKA (splash, dabble) for some cleaning and washing-up items.<br /><br />In the rather boring-sounding category you find ANSLUTA (connect) for an electric cable. And how they came up with FNISS (giggle) for a waste paper basket, I don’t know!<br /><br />If you have a particular name you want a translation for, don’t be afraid to ask!swenglishexpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102783327902959539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-21950803582016447832010-09-14T16:18:00.258-07:002010-09-14T16:18:00.258-07:00JG, we've been there a number of times too!
E...JG, we've been there a number of times too!<br /><br />Elp, ain't that the living breathing skluthorp truth!<br /><br />Hula, it is a solid reminder isn't it. Let's hope the stove works out OK and I'm not frustrated by it all in the end.<br />Swenglishexpat, I figure you folks are the only ones who know what the heck you're buying. Are there stupid plays on words in the names? I'd love to know.<br /><br />Thanks about the blog!<br /><br />Viva Ikea indeed, sometimes.orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-26547441097784024562010-09-14T09:14:14.420-07:002010-09-14T09:14:14.420-07:00Makes me think of a saying we have in Swedish, not...Makes me think of a saying we have in Swedish, not to cross the river to get water! ;-)<br /><br />Like your new-look blog.<br /><br />Also like to read non-Swedes' efforts at making up Swedish words, mixing in German vowels! :-0 LOL<br /><br />Viva IKEA, sometimes!swenglishexpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102783327902959539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-6033202331801278912010-09-14T05:53:47.718-07:002010-09-14T05:53:47.718-07:00Sometimes what we need or want is in our very own ...Sometimes what we need or want is in our very own backyard.
