Heja Sverige!

The VtES European Championships are rushing towards us. I happened to qualify last Spring, so yeah, going there, the venue being in the neighboring country afterall. But still I'm so very surprised by the fact that it's NOW! More or less. We'll be taking a ferry from Vasa to Umeå to meet with some friends next monday, and taking trains or whatever to Stockholm from there. I have to start packing soon! And even more so, building the decks for all of the tournaments!

That's for the rest of the week, though. What's even more important is obviously: Orientation in discourse! For us Finns Swedish isn't that alien. The others might find it very helpful to get familiar with some basic vocabulary and idioms most likely inclusive in a VtES orientation. Therefor, for me and the rest of Europe, I'll put up some of the phrases I will be practicing before the journey. For best effect, practice in front of a mirror, just so that you'll get the facial and vocal expressions right.

Bleed = Bleeda
In an instance:
Jag bleedar dig för 1! = I'm bleeding you for 1!

Deal = Fördrag
In an instance:
Vi skulle görä en Fördrag! = Let's make a deal!

Block = Blocka
In an instance:
Faktist ska jag blocka alla! = I'll block everything for sure!
Inga blockor. = You're bleeding with a Trujah, what'd you expect?

Help = Hjälpa
In an instance:
Hjälpa! = My 3-cap got torpored, and nooo, it's definitely not Mary Anne I'm influencing out, and nooo, I don't seriously have two Parity Shifts in hand. I'm dying here!
Behöver du Hjälp? = Do you want me to Graverob your Arika?

Hunt = Hunta
In an instance:
Stanislava huntar. = I want to cycle my stealth, please block me.

What the fuck? = Vad i helvete?
In an instance:
Crosstable DI's your Parity Shift.

That doesn't look good. = Fy fan!
In an instance:
Predator influences out the Beast.

I don't really want to discuss this right now (also, we might run out of time). = Gå öch dö (också du luktar).
In an instance:
When discussing anything with the French.

Why?! = Varför?!
In an instance:
Anything anyone does goes against your liking.

No deal. = Bum's Rush för (vampir X)
In an instance:
Self explanatory.

Oh dear god no. = Herre gud, nej.
In an instance:
Someone actually plays a combat deck in the EC and just happens to sit to your left. For additional effect add continuous head desks.

Cheers! = Skål!
In an instance:
After the first game at the bar.

I probably need to refine these a little bit, and I'm hoping to come up with more before the weekend.

  1. Nice. That's the kind of information you need when dealing with the Swedish! But aren't there many Finns coming to the EC. Won't I need "Herre, uid, nej" in Finnish??

  2. Too bad I didn't notice this earlier! I would've definitely put up a list for that. Then again, we will need to return to the topic before the next Ropecon in Helsinki, and let's hope we'll get to host an EC one of these years as well.
