Well, in Danish we have one word only: "influenza".

What about "forkølelse"?

Which means "cold" something we distinguish from "influenza". People
don't even go to bed for just a cold, and most would go to school or
work having a cold. It's just snot from the nose.

We seem not to differentiate between a cold and influenza here in the UK.
Almost everyone I know describes a bit of a sniffle as "I've got a touch of
the 'flu".
I've had influenza 4 times in my 64 years and each time was extremely
unpleasant. I now have annual jabs, so with luck I should never get it again! |

I may have had a jab or two while in the Army, back in the late 'fifties, or
so. I can't remember ever having a serious bout with the flu, but there may
have been one or two that have faded from memory.

I'm sure they weren't *really* boring -- it's just that that's how
Canadians seem to us, because of subtle differences in intonation and
expressiveness (or lack thereof). Basically, Canadians are smiling
Vulcans. But maybe I'm the strange one; I don't find _The Red Green

Valentine seems to have more than passing familiarity with it.

In case I haven't mentioned it before, I also find *The Red Green Show*
funny.

Sorry to dip into a post so far back. But the Kensington Rune Stone is not written in modern Swedish.
Even runic and linguist "masters" at the time of the stone's finding couldn't translate it even remotely close.
Åtta göter and tjugotvå norrman på (denna?) upptagelsefärd (= uppodlings- eller plundringsresa) från Vinland alltför väst...
There's some of the first few lines, if anyone can speak swedish please translate.
It is close, I know some Norwegian and I can kind of see what it's saying. But there are even other words in there from other origins due to the culture mix of the viking people due to their land travels.
And the stone is authentic. This has been proven, but to fully explain would to write a novel, and there are some good ones. The newest one researched by the best just came out, by the authors of Richard Nielsen and Scott F. Wolter I believe.
They've been studying the stone for about 6 years and have finished the book now. Looking deeply into the scientific aspect of the stone's weathering and such. And going very very deeply into the history of the knight's templar and the history of the Gotlandic people. And then they look at the Gran tapes, and the book is bigger than our largest phone book.
It's taking forever to read.
But I thought I should just tell you all that. The Kensington Rune Stone is authentic. ANd it's not modern swedish. Through many parts of the history of where these particular people that wrote the rune stone come from at many times wasn't even part of Sweden. But it's language would still be considered this. |
