I see that some people on Swedish boards in an attempt to seem "intellectual" use the conjunction emedan instead of medan. This is totally wrong, because medan means "while, whilst" while the obsolete emedan means "because".

In Göteborg they speak with a "thick" d similar to that in some English dialects.

Although plus and minus are Latin words, the Romans didn't use them when adding or subtracting.

Sex et quattuor sunt decem.

Six and four are ten.

Si a sex duo deducis, quattuor restant.

If two are taken away from six, four are left.

Well, minus is neuter of minor, which means "smaller". Plus means "more". They are comparatives of parvus and multus  8)

Notice that "wine" is pretty similar to "vinum", since "vinum" is pronounced "weenum". In German they also spell it with w, which in really old German sounded like in English.
