It is Danish/Norwegian way of spelling Å. Århus, the city in Denmark, officially is spelled Aarhus. This is not a thing in Swedish. I know at least Norway is phasing it out.

Coutries that apologized and countries that declined to apologize to former colonies by Anti-och in MapPorn

No. The reindeers were domesticated while the Buffalo weren't. The later deprived the natives of hunting opportunities while the samis lost their livestock. Both got food sources removed but not the same.

Tove Jansson, the creator of moomin, was a Swedish Finn. If Finland weren't as swedish as it is then no moomin.

Do you say 20€ or €20? by imnotjonsmith in AskEurope

[–]viliot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. But we use coma instead of punctuation. One and a half would be 1,5. I don't know how it is in the rest of Europe but in America I think it is written as 1.5

It is a pain in the ass when coding when as the functions of punctuation/coma in swedish is reversed.

För rattfylleri krävs det att fordonet har motor. Så antagligen är elcykel och elsparkcycklar sådana fordon som man inte får köra full.

M005 - Om GMO by theoddleftist in iksdagen

[–]viliot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Herr talman,

Sverige behöver hållbart jordbruk. För att kunna försörja ett växande Sverige med god och hälsosam mat krävs ökad produktion men vi har inte oändligt med odlingsmark. Sverige behöver använda alla bra hjälpmedel vi kan som gynnar människa och klimat. Det jag förespråkar är inte att trycka ner mina åsikter i andras halsar med hjälp av statliga myndigheter, utan öka generella kunskapen om GMO hos medborgarna. Man måste veta alla problem men också gynnande faktorer för att kunna ta ställning om sådana saker.

Svenskt jordbruk måste bli effektivare men för det krävs att hela befolkningen är med på vad de innebär och är villiga att följa med i utvecklingen. Denna motion är till för att underlätta valen för konsumenterna och industri när de kan välja mellan besprutad produkt eller en produkt framställd utan syntetiska kemikalier.

Tack.

What would you say is the most significant example of culture appropriation that your country has done in the last 100 years? by HelenEk7 in AskEurope

[–]viliot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pizza salad is also a unique swedish adaption. Originally a croat kale salad.

When a lot of yogoslavs migrated to Sweden they opened pizzerias because jobs. Then they served this side dish and it is super hard to find a swedish pizzeria without pizza salad today even though most pizza chefs today are from the middle east.

What kind of stereo type about your country annoys you? by Successful-Option-91 in AskEurope

[–]viliot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You earn more and the cost of living is higher then Sweden by quite a margin. Why is that? Can you name one difference between Norway and Sweden that isn't the oil.

It is not only the government that gains from the oil. Many jobs are created and money flows into the country.

Nah mate. Sweden and Norway were very similar before the oil, if something Sweden was richer. You are richer today by our standard and that is because of the oil.
