Though I believe Swedish is universally taught in Finland anyway, so figure he'd know some even if he weren't.

That'd be cool they're around 7 % I think so there's always the chance But as a Swede you always have to assume that someone from Finland doesn't understand any Swedish hehe...

It is universally taught in Finland, but I get the feeling the kids are mostly watching their smartphones in those lessons

In Italian it is "ananas" too. About fruit names, it is also quite interesting the difference between the word for "banana" in Italian and in Spanish: for us it is banana too, while in Spanish it is "plátano". This is quite funny, because for us the "platano" is a large broadleaves tree.

False friends between Italian and Spanish are really insidious, usually the words are written exactly in the same way but they have completely different meanings...

Interesting. German is somewhat closer to Italian in this regard.

Ananas -> Ananas
platano -> Platanen
banana -> Banane

Wawa has a strange obsession with Honda Accords, and the letter V.

Also, why are people so sure that Everblack lives in the UK?

(for others: a question about whether he speaks any Swedish, the second language of Finland)

Jag är 50% finlandssvensk. Min morfars far flyttade från Västmanland till Finland. Min mormors familj är dels från Stockholm.

Så jo, snacka på bara.

(I'm 50% Fenno-Swede. My granddad's dad moved from Västmanland to Finland. My grandma's family is partly from Stockholm.)
