As a Swede: Yep. Everything is a reference to hell or the devil. Completely colorless. Learning Portuguese ones from the better half = wheee

It will be at first but as long as you pay attention to how swedes pronounce it and really ask how something would be said you'll be fine

What do I do if I want to learn Swedish but I always sound like I have a Norwegian accent? Should I just learn Norwegian instead?

Google translate says it means kind, correct?

Yes!

If you're translating Swedish that doesn't make any sense. In a complete sentence it would have that meaning, but not on its own. 1/2

"Vilket slags...?" = "what kind of...?" . On its own, "slag" translates into "punch" or "strike". Is a homonym in Swedish. 2/2

Swedish isn't that difficult, it's like talking like a sober Dane, with a few German words thrown in here and there.

It was the same in Denmark... an old Faroese saying: The royals in Denmark speak French, the snobs German and the Commoner Danish. In the...
