Sorry guys, I meant the surströmming or as you might know it as fermented herring another example in how a small prefix to a word can make it a totally different thing.
Talking about language barriers, I hope you havent seen our foreign minister Ann Linde in an interview with German press about the Corona status in our country. This person have worked in the EU council for more than 10 years I think and haven't got more vocabulary than a 5 year old... Embarrassing that people like that represent my country and its face to the world...
did you try it?
i mean the surstromming
i probably would have done better than her lol
i havent seen ann linde english skills but here we are still taking the piss of our ex prime minister (matteo renzi) for when he went to some important council in new york a nobody could understand a word of what he said.
the new guy (giuseppe conte) at least speaks a good english, im pretty sure he is the first italian politican who knows the grammar.
hes a university professor btw.
