False friends in Swedish
Swedes love crossword puzzles and word games
It's a language of deception, developed from an ancient Viking culture of piracy and smuggling, nothing of which is really all that foreign to English, only, things are hidden and there is much trickery.
Norwegian and Danish are very similar languages to Swedish, perhaps even close variants of the same language, but they go more by the book than Swedish does.
