AnnaBr.'s Profile

I am a swede, and I think I speak for all of us in this cold little country when I say that we are NOT offended. This post made me laugh, and so does the fact that nobody outside of sweden can pronounce those IKEA-names. We understand that they must sound odd to non-swedes. Actually, some of the IKEA-names are intentionally made to be funny for swedes, too. Although, most IKEA-names are names of swedish towns, villages, rivers and so on. JOKKMOKK, KARLSTAD, KIVIK, STOCKHOLM are towns/cities. LACK means lacquer. GOSA means "to cuddle", and therefore is the name of some of the pillows.
You all have my blessing in the continuation of laughing at this language. We laugh at some languages, too. Not pointing fingers here but it might be a neighbor country of ours, possibly in the western direction.
