Our SWOW is the word Kärlek. It’s the perfect word for this week as we have just celebrated Valentine’s day here in the U.S. Kärlek means love. It maybe looks like a hard word to pronounce but it’s not. The K-Ä sounds kinda like the SH sound with a short a at the end.
Kärlek=Love
Speaking of Valentine’s Day, you may be wondering if Swedes celebrate it and the short answer is no. It’s not a typical holiday to celebrate but you will see it more and more these days throughout the country. But it is definitely not something that is widely celebrated.
