Very cool. I have a friend from Sweden, and I'm always bugging him to tell me what they call various things. I'm sure it drives him nuts. It's not like I remember five minutes after he tells me. hehe

Hehe, I had a roommate from Greenland once, and I pestered her too all the time about telling me things in her language.

Now? Well.. Uhm. I can say polar bear, asshole and count to 6. Ahem.
