So instead of a single word in some language this week, I thought I'd make use of my fancy linguistics degree and venture into the exciting world of linguistic phenomena, in this case what's called the dialect continuum.
So once again you will all be witness to my ongoing fascination with Scandinavian languages, because I've got (another) Swedish word this week.
We have officially entered Lent! But what does Lent actually mean? The word, that is?
Possibly my fascination with Scandinavian languages is showing again, but I've got another Swedish word, this week; resfeber.
For all that I've been wandering about the world with the words and languages I've chosen, I believe I have yet to use an English word, and for all its...shall we say, frustrating aspects, English is in many ways a delightful language, with lots of fun words in its own right, especially when you get to really specific topics, like science...or music.
