@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social [ALT-TEXT] In Norwegian, you don’t refer to your romantic partner as a “boyfriend” or “girlfriend.” You say “kjaereste,” which is gender neutral and literally translates to “the dearest.” And in Swedish, you refer to your boyfriend/girlfriend by saying “alskling,” which translates into “my beloved one.” And in Finnish we say “mulkvisti,” which means “one I don’t hate as much as the others.” *Squints at Finland.*

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Sorry to ruin it but: We say pojkvän/flickvän in Swedish. Which straight up means boyfriend/girlfriend. Älskling is how you address your partner, like darling in English.
