>>haricots verts is the only swedish I know, sorry.<<

Jim -

That's too bad, since it's actually French. ;-)

Maybe you could try the first sentence I ever learned in Swedish:

I kväll, ska jag ta dig bakifrån.

Phonetically, that's "e kvell, ska ya ta day bok-e-froan." Those are all soft A's and long E's. But that last vowel, the "å", is more like forming an O with your mouth, then saying a soft "ah" sound.

I was taught that sentence by my wife's girlfriend. I asked her to teach me something in Swedish to say to my wife, and that's what she came up with, instantly. Taro could tell you what it means.
