[OgeronimonominoregO]

I think in English we spell smörgåsbord just like

the Swedish except for the marks on the vowels, of course.

You're right, it's probably the only word taken directly from

Swedish in modern times.

There are a lot of other words that are not the same but

you can guess what they mean. Hund (dog) is obviously

related to hound (a type of dog). And I wonder if we got dog from

varg (wolf) a long time ago? An older word for deer is hart (hjört).

The relationship between the languages is fascinating.
