Swedish words matfriend - 14/07/2003 09:24:14 AM

Okay ya'll, I told my proffesor that i would put this survey up for class...

I am taking a graphics class and we were talking about the different objects being known as different things around the country... such as pop/soda and water fountain/bubbler (weird I know). these things are important to know in ad desing, which is what we are covering in this class.

So what I want to know is, what is your word for the following objects in your part of the world?
I'll give you the Swedish words so you can impress your professor.
[EDIT]

please add where you are from if you are comfortable with that... just a general idea

1. Carbonated beverage (pop, soda, or something else...)
Läsk, ( or by there name's, Cola, Coca Cola, Fanta, Pepsi etc.)
2. Water fountain
Do you mean a real fountain? If so, it's fontän
3. Television

4. Automobile

5. Internet

6. Coffee

11. Radio

16. If you can think of any other words that you have heard for something that is different that what you use, please list them here...

Thanx all... and please remember, this is for class so keep it fairly clean please
I think that I've got the most commonly used words. Hope you have so use of them.
By the way are you feeling better today?
