Me too--early on learned "taks a mikka (sp)" and "vars a goot (sp)". Whenever they talked in Swedish it meant they were planning a surprise so be prepared for a trip to the ice cream shop!

They mean "Thank you" and "you are welcome" I think....just half for me.

How exciting, yes I am part Sewdish, my maternal grandparents came from Sweden. My ex-husband's maternal grandparents also came from Sweden. While raising the children we belonged to a Swedish based church, it was so much fun for all of us to learn about the heritage. We cherish all the Swedish items we have collected over the years. I just love to go shopping in a Swedish shop!
