#nordic languages
learning a scandinavian language is just *watches skam* *“this is a weird norwegian dialect oh it’s danish”* *dreams about northern lights* *watches movie in swedish instead of norwegian because you’ll take what you can get* *goes to ikea with friends and tells them what all the names of things mean even though they don’t care* *drinks voss* *pretends that cheese in a tube actually doesn’t taste that bad* *tries to make friends with natives but they speak your own language better than you do*
(Freya’s Tears by Gustav Klimt)
Óðr went off on long travels, and Freyja stayed behind weeping. Her tears are red gold.
Óðr fór í braut langar leiðir, en Freyja grætr eftir, en tár hennar er gull rautt.
(Prose Edda, ch. 35)
