For me, it’s “queso”. 🧀

    That’s Swedish isn’t it?

    My dad had this brilliant idea for everyone to say “cheese” in the local language every time he took a selfie of us when we were travelling around Europe. Let’s just say even though that was years ago in my childhood, I can look through that album and know instantly which photos were taken in Sweden!

      I was referring to Danish, but indeed it seems the same spelling also applies for Norwegian and Swedish. But quite different pronounciations, I would think. In Danish, you would say “åst” with an “å”- which everyone naturally knows how to pronounce of course.

      Haha, yes, that’s brilliant. We even do that here from time to time. One indeed does look dapper saying “OOOST”.

        At least plugging them all into Google translate, the pronunciations are actually all pretty similar, with Swedish being the most dissimilar

        Svorte Sara, that’s some stinky shit. Every time we were over to helsingør or køpenhavn my parents bought stinky cheese with them home to ruin the fridge.
