of course it is a real word. isn't it? Camilla Send a noteboard - 26/11/2009 04:53:04 PM
Also, take this test and be amazed!

Edit: actually, that particular one wasn't all that amazing, apart from "ressurs/resurs". And "keitering". I mean wouldn't spelling it "resurs" put the stress on the e? What a dumb language.

And what's "snerk" in English?


both resurs and keitering are horrible. snerk, I think is "skin"?

I know what you mean, let's see if there are any native speakers who know of an English word Floffe - 26/11/2009 12:51:17 PM 642 Views
That is it precisely. Camilla - 26/11/2009 01:00:51 PM 381 Views
Are we sure that's a real word? (Snerk is another that sounds like what it means.) cabbage - 26/11/2009 03:07:51 PM 369 Views
of course it is a real word. isn't it? Camilla - 26/11/2009 04:53:04 PM 373 Views
We've kept the English spelling for "keitering" Floffe - 26/11/2009 05:58:52 PM 551 Views
So have we, dammit. Camilla - 26/11/2009 05:59:51 PM 365 Views

What's "snerk" in Swedish? I bet it's really cute. *NM* cabbage - 26/11/2009 08:53:50 PM 159 Views
I didn't have the slightest clue what that word meant Floffe - 26/11/2009 09:29:30 PM 357 Views
So, in translation, you'll say "that icky stuff on the top of my cold soup"? *NM* cabbage - 26/11/2009 10:02:42 PM 163 Views
... no, that would be "skinn", I believe. *NM* jh - 27/11/2009 06:34:58 AM 160 Views
Could be "twirly". . . some times. *NM* cabbage - 26/11/2009 03:10:59 PM 150 Views
that was my thought too. *NM* jh - 26/11/2009 09:14:23 PM 155 Views
Except it really doesn't work if you want to describe a person's movement. *NM* cabbage - 26/11/2009 10:08:01 PM 163 Views
No, but... jh - 27/11/2009 06:33:41 AM 339 Views

whorl has more speed than snirkle *NM* Camilla - 26/11/2009 05:49:07 PM 159 Views
Yes, snirkle has to end up just right. Think spending 10 minutes on one letter to get it right. *NM* Floffe - 26/11/2009 06:00:42 PM 169 Views
Mad Swede *NM* Camilla - 26/11/2009 06:01:46 PM 142 Views
Yeah, it's really the opposite of "whorl" in that sense. *NM* cabbage - 26/11/2009 08:54:53 PM 143 Views
You could alternately call it a "flourish", especially now that we've seized "snirkle". *NM* Tom - 26/11/2009 06:47:04 PM 141 Views
To flourish? Snirkle is a verb. And it is transitive! *NM* Camilla - 26/11/2009 06:51:01 PM 135 Views
To flourish, yes. But in English, Snirkle will henceforth be a verb AND a noun. Tom - 26/11/2009 08:20:36 PM 365 Views
Re: To flourish, yes. But in English, Snirkle will henceforth be a verb AND a noun. Camilla - 26/11/2009 09:10:06 PM 341 Views
Just say "snirkle" and pronounce it like we would - snerkl *NM* Tom - 26/11/2009 06:36:19 PM 152 Views
but then it looses its power. *NM* Camilla - 26/11/2009 06:37:50 PM 139 Views
No it doesn't. There's even a candy called "Snirkles". Tom - 26/11/2009 06:40:15 PM 349 Views
Oooh. I want some of that. Camilla - 26/11/2009 06:42:17 PM 343 Views
In the name of Anglophonia, I claim the word "snirkle" (pronounced "snerkl") Tom - 26/11/2009 06:46:17 PM 346 Views
But yours is a noun. Ours is a verb! Camilla - 26/11/2009 06:49:47 PM 362 Views
Music style, I presume? Floffe - 26/11/2009 07:36:22 PM 336 Views
Re: Music style, I presume? Camilla - 26/11/2009 07:38:50 PM 389 Views
I like "køntri". Suitably lame. *NM* cabbage - 26/11/2009 08:58:16 PM 151 Views
Now that is an excellent point, although still not good enough to cancel out the horrible spelling *NM* Floffe - 26/11/2009 09:30:53 PM 135 Views
Ours is a verb as well. I could also decide to make it an adjective. Tom - 26/11/2009 10:43:42 PM 344 Views

swirl? swirly?*NM* *NM* sylph - 26/11/2009 08:20:11 PM 165 Views
I'd say they were squiggles, and the cake was squiggly *NM* Wibble - 26/11/2009 09:46:31 PM 146 Views
That is a good option, but as a verb it is a little off. Camilla - 27/11/2009 08:28:49 AM 325 Views
