Swedish is an official language in Finland, meaning you can expect service in Swedish from the authorities. You can study even on the university level in Swedish. Not quite everything and not in every university, but in many faculties - including of course pedagogy, engineering and medicine. There's even one 100% Swedish speaking university in Turku.

Yes, I know it's a big difference. Swedish is an official language in Finland and Finnish is a minority language here in Sweden.

You know I love your chicken

I know you do that why you saved the pics

 

[AngelWithAShotgun]

What about a redneck who enjoys danishes?

I probably fall into that category.

We don't even have the concept of minority language in the legislature. But Swedish is a bit over 5% in the whole country. Russian (not a official language) has about 1,5%.

Strixy I love that I am able to talk to you about your country and language and stuff! Thank you for explaining. I’m your typical uncultured American . I’ll be nice to myself actually and say I’m sheltered

Well, we don't know that much about the individual states in USA around here.

But we actually had to learn ALL the countries of the world and their capitals in school,. Continent by continent. A few very general things about each (not that I remember what they each export etc!)

What do they call a Danish in Denmark?

I actually got good food at McDonald's. The end is nigh

are you sure you just aren't stoned?

Hockey players, Maple Syrup and Bureaucrats (The head of the Bank of England was a Canadian recently)

This was a requirement in the Philippines too, not that I remember any of it. I remember having a passing mark overall, and hating the US and all their bloody capitals

 

[Justadesperatewifeandmom]

This is not actually that surprising you just have to know the right McDonald's. When I was going to school in Florida we had a McDonald's Bistro right down the road. So much better food then a standard McDonald's.

and again, are you sure you weren't just stoned when going to school in Florida?

 

[Justadesperatewifeandmom]

did you get the wrap!?? *wags tail*

mcdonalds still has wraps somewhere? ours pulled out anything that even resembles healthy long ago.

I always order the wrap meals over here, mostly cause its safe from onions

 

[Justadesperatewifeandmom]

Same her. But they have the secret menu items

damn, wonder if mine does. All of our fast food stopped offering all wraps, salads, anything grilled chicken. if it it even so much as looked like it might be a slightly more healthy option than everything else, it is gone.

Pretty sure, I'm a goody two shoes and don't touch the stuff. Now some of my classmates they were a different story about half of them were stoned lol

We took the USA as one country with one capital. Didn't learn the individual states at all.

I know pretty many of the states by name anyway, but not as many of their capitals - and with many I barely know whether they are in the south, west, north, east or middle... I could place very few of them on the map correctly.

But we did actually learn the Great Lakes in school. Just like major lakes on any other continent. I have forgotten at least half of them - but I still know most of the countries in the world decently. Well, Middle Africa tends to get a bit mixed... the countries have even changed after I learn them!

 

[AngelWithAShotgun]

the countries have even changed after I learn them!

I know! I took that as a sign of me getting old, hating the changes and grumbling why did I have to bloody learn that in school. I'm going to turn into a grump in a few years

 

[Justadesperatewifeandmom]

yup, sure, Mcdonalds is the kid's favorite fast food. so I have spent years annoyed that there is nothing lower calorie. I thought all US McDonalds pulled these.

I didn't. I was still in junior high when they started fighting in the former Yugoslavia. That taught me that geography isn't a constant thing. But it still is beneficial to know them. To have some basic knowledge of the world.

Just they could have taught us more about the history after WWII and not stopping there. Like, how Israel was formed (leading to the still ongoing conflicts there). Or how Yugoslavia was formed, and actually even what happened there during WWII - leading to the war in the 90's (and there's actually tension rising there at the moment... peace keepers are still needed!)

I am kinda "Lovin' It" with resect to the breakfast burritos at McD's. The "salsa" isn't much but the wraps themselves are pretty good.
