Some examples in the list are probably less significant than it looks as many words are similar to words that are understandable but a bit outdated.
Then there is different spelling of nearly all words, and slightly different grammar and word-order, although all languages are quite tolerant to some artistic reordering.
- tyfon 10y agoThanks for the list! I'm a Norwegian myself and have been working in an environment where we have about 10% swedes (including my direct boss), and I have learned a lot of these. But having it all in one place will be great, it's also emailed to the rest of the company I work at.
