  1. Radio channel on my way to work had this poll going on, "what's the finest word in the Swedish dictionary?"

    I always joke that ÖVERGÅNGSSTÄLLE (zebra crossing) was one of the hardest to grok as an adult learner of the language, but it's probably the one I like best too.

    It's got it all:

    - all weird vocals (å ä ö)
    - Swedish compositing (över/ gång(s)/ ställe, over / walk / place)
    - a hell of a ride when it comes to intonation (the difficult part)
