”As a Swede I am the first to admit that sometimes our Swedish sayings does not make a lot of sense but then again any time you think some other language is strange, remember that yours is just as strange, you’re just used to it. This book is my attempt to make Swedes reflect on our own wonderful language, while also giving non-swedes a ticket into the deep dark forest that is sayings in a language you were not born into”
