Interesting interview with

[Guns 'n' Roses]

a young immigrant in the riot area of Stockholm:

"Those who go out on the streets throwing bricks and setting cars on fire are looking for action. They're bored, and they use this police killing of the 69 year old man as an excuse to go out and have som "fun" instead of sitting on their arses getting bored. They do not give a flying f about the chap that got killed. These are young people who are work shy. Working is no fun. Better to go on welfare. But of course, when you're on welfare you get bored and you need action."

Interesting in the sense that it is coming from someone who lives in the area, and interesting that it is in such a strong contract to all the politicians and organisations who go out and analyze what is wrong, "how could the authorities have done things differently with these frustrated young people."

Tarquin Philpott-Equity-Smythe-Hardcastle, 19, son of Baronet Hardcastle of Sittingbourne, unless you believe the word immigrant to mean something other than it does, guns

[Guns 'n' Roses]

This lad talked immigrant street talk.

"The police? They done nothing wrong. If anything, they're too soft, imo."

Oh wait, I may have that the wrong way round

[Guns 'n' Roses]

Common in scandyland. It's an accent. Sometimes ethnical Nogs start talking it, just because it's "cool".

[Guns 'n' Roses]

It's Sioux.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Bergkamp's Brain]

Isn't ethinical rather redundant in there :hide:

You won't talk like an arab or a person from the balkan who was born in Sweden but grew up in a neighbourhood with a majority of the population originating from the same part of the world.

We have this phenomenon in Oslo too. Deliberate wrong grammar and introduction of arabic and urdu words into the Norwegian language.

Got back with my ex a little after Christmas, gonna move out there now and give it a go!

[Guns 'n' Roses]

Does not a person's ethnicity refer to his ancestry? E.g. where his parents came from? I thought that was a kosher word? :shrug:

You can be a Norwegian with your ethnicity being Pakistani, no? Or Indian?

[Luis Anaconda]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Luis Anaconda]

narrowing it down quite considerably

[Luis Anaconda]

you're probably right. It does ring a bell now. Should be great

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Red N White Army]

the Stockholm riots are taking place these days, they tend to come from Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Somalia.

Are you familiar with this football club?

being a drama queen about it all, but they seemed to have calmed down now they realise i'm not going to be living in another galaxy.

I didn't even know about the riots until Guns mentioned it. I get to Arlanda at 2pm and my train isn't till 4:30pm. I hope they don't fancy setting planes on fire :-|

It's a really small people, in terms of population, isn't it? The Assyrians? I've never met a singel won of them in Norway, I think they all went to Södertelje in Sweden. But they are damned good at playing football.

Prepositions controlling both accusative and dative:

"An, auf, hinter, in, neben, über, unter, vor, zwischen.

Ich gehe auf die Strasse.
Ich gehe auf der Strasse.

Quiz: What's the difference in meaning?

[Guns 'n' Roses]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

What am I, some sort of Kraut?

[Guns 'n' Roses]

Auf der Strasse is dative and means you're on it and auf die Strasse is accusative and means you're heading onto the street.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I always hated this ****.

[Guns 'n' Roses]

moving.

Ich bin in der Schule. Ich bin in dem Haus. Ich gehe in das Haus.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

I don't love you btw....

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm in the office. I am going to the house. I will stand in the kitchen.

[Guns 'n' Roses]

The thing is that the word 'you' in english is a bit of an exception as it means four different things.

It can be the subjective form: You love her. Du
It can be the objective form: She loves you. Dig
Or it can be the plural subjective form: You (as in your family) love her. Ni
And finally, the plural objective form: They love you (your family): Er

Du, dig, ni, er.

It's like: I, me, we, us.
