Duh!
Hello dear teacher!
Are you surprised if I say you are absolutely correct when you gave your idea about the word comming from Sweden…
Interesting thing is that we in Sweden (the young ones…) use the frase “men du” for the same reason, only that means “Hey you!” and pronounced in a sarcastic tone just like “duh”

Kidnap
Ah… almost entierly a nordic word then .. We still use the word “kid” for the young roedeer, even though we pronounce it diffently, the word “nappa” as in taking something is not very much in use but still is around .. and the famous kidnapping was the kidnapping of swede Charles Lindbergs son…. so even though we are a little land high up in the north, we do make some mark here and there.
By the way, as a comment for an older video … the vikinghelmets never had horns! They were “invented” in an opera in the 1800´s ….

Hello my dear teacher!
I have been away for a while and are catching up on all your lessons… I want to connect to the AK-47 video and also the film “Blood diamond” that I just have seen. Not the most fun of subjects perhaps, but anyway – here goes.
Is there any truth in the statement they make in that film that the word “infantry” as in “foot soldiers” has anything to do with “infant” like in small children?? In the film they claim that it has something to do with childsoldiers, is that true and if so, from what war would that be??

Allways looking forward to your lessons!

Cookie (Game)
Hello dera teacher!
Nice pic from your younger days…!
My guess for the cookie is the latinword …
The word biscuit though is the same as in germany even if it spelled with “k” not “c” … but the word you gave as an option sounded more like dutch = not understandebal!

My favorite cookie (kaka in swedish) is maryland choclat chip!

Tip (Game)
Hello dear teacher
Tough question. i would have guess it had something to do with “tip of an iceberg” like the little extra on the top… but since that wasn´t an option, I go for #3 since we also have the word tips in our language…

Just wonder where they got the word “tip-ex” from, is it when you tip your ex-girlfriend?
