That's very good to know!

KUL

"jätte-"(SE) "kjempe-"(NO) Heter det samma på danska?

From what I understand the word kul in Swedish has existed for a long time, it's a word used by everyone pretty much. In Norwegian it's fairly "new" and really only used by kids, or at least that's where it's used above all.

I think "kul" entered the Norwegian language in the early 1960s. I also think that for a long time it was almost
exclusively used by teenagers and young grown-ups. It still sounds weird If people in their 40s or 50s use it,
especially in a professional setting. Nowadays, even small children use it. My nephews, aged 3 and 7, exclaim
"Kult!" when they get a new toy for Christmas.

I think it is used differently in Norwegian and Swedish. And, a lot more in Swedish.

En lång lista här:
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_%C3%B6ver_falska_v%C3%A4n ner_mellan_svenska_och_%C3%B6vriga_nordiska_spr%C3%A5k

kjole, anledning, samlag, kasse, værelse, frokost och några till är väl sådana man lärde sig skilja på i skolan.
