Swedish Lesson #4
I know someone from Sheep Island!
ckck:
Å [å:] and Ö [ö:]
Å and ö are not only letters in the Swedish alphabet (a-ring and o-umlaut) but they’re also the Swedish words for a small river and island, respectively. As such, Sweden’s second largest island Öland translates literally into the rather awkward “Island land” in English, but most often the ö (and å) is tacked on the end of the name, like Fårö (Sheep Island).
The only other single-letter word in Swedish is “i”, which means “in”.
