That reminds me of a joke got just the other day. I'm afraid they twisted the vocabulary a little to make it look more stupid but anyway, it goes like this:
A Finn and a Swede were arguing whose mother tongue sounds more beautiful.
Since they couldn't find any solution they asked help from an English linguistic
who asked both of them to translate the following poem by Percy Shelley into their own languages.
"Island, island, grassy island, grassy island's bride."
It was the Finn's turn first. He translated:
"Saari, saari, heinäsaari, heinäsaaren morsian."
Then the Swede translated:
"Ö, ö, hö-ö, hö-öns mö."
Why again am I learning Swedish?
