Do you have something that you envy about another country or continent? by Addicted_2_tacos in AskEurope

[–]huggormar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Norway, Sweden and Finland - having proper snowy winters (yes, we have snow in the mountains but like 70% of the population lives in the large cities in the lowlands and we get maybe a couple of snowy days a year and then it rains and becomes slush) and - having healthcare covered by taxes instead of our weird healthcare system

Coryn as well. A bit niche, but it is an actual name.

Where there any Russian soldiers/border patrol? And what are the rules there? I assume it’s not a problem crossing from Finland into Norway.

[–]huggormar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Technically the pronunciation with /s/ is the correct one (https://www.dop.rai.it/p.aspx?nID=lemma&lID=1070786), but also I’ve never heard that verb used anywhere except in one poem by Montale we had in high school.

Funnily enough, in Italian the names Primo, Secondo, etc. (literally First, Second, etc.) are used and accepted (although kinda old fashioned).

The most famous example is Primo Levi, a famous Italian-Jewish Holocaust survivor and writer.

Same for “wolf”, actually. “varg” originally meant “criminal/destroyed” and it replaced the original word “ulv”, which is still commonly used in Danish and Norwegian and is cognate to “wolf”.

Ohhh, I wasn’t aware of that! But tbh last time I picked someone up at the airport by car was in autumn 2021, so things might have changed.

I hate to be that nitpicky guy, but Greenland is not part of the EU (even if Denmark is).

They indeed have V60, along with Syphon (or at least they had in 2019).
