ck/ck: Swedish Lesson #7
ckck:
Today’s lesson is dedicated to a very dear friend of mine from Canada whom I’ve been teaching random Swedish words and expressions. With today being Thanksgiving in Canada and it being autumn and all, I thought this would be a suitable lesson for the day:
Lönn [lön:]
Lönn is the Swedish word for maple, and pronounced it sounds more like “lunn” than “lonn”. It is also a rarely-used synonym for hidden, with the only use I can think of being lönnmördare, the Swedish word for assassin (“hidden murderer” translated literally, “maple killer” translated poorly).
