Have I ever mentioned Sweden and my's mutual love affair with coffee? While there is an American brand that still has my heart, I have never once had a bad cup of coffee in Sweden.
OK - so the following is great. I love it!
Sweden has unique words that mean seconds and third helpings of coffee. YUP!!!!! Totally true. The words just refer to coffee.
So:
Vill du ha kaffe? = "Do you want to have coffee?"
Påtår? = "Do you want to have a second cup of coffee?"
Tretår? = "Do you want to have a third cup of coffee?"
And the obvious answer to all of these questions is:
Ja tack! = "Yes thank you!"
Note - although most Swedes I know drink their coffee black, if you go out and want something else, it is often served in a heavy glass. Which, though attractive in its presentation, has no handle.
