    uhhh “boykot varer fra USA” is either norwegian or danish, i’m having a brainfart and can’t decide which but it’s DEFINITELY not swedish and i’d be surprised if a significant amount of swedes reliably interacted with a community that isn’t in swedish or english…

      Danish. Norwegian would be “boikott varer fra USA”

      Definitely Swedish. “Från” is exclusively a Swedish word, in Denmark and Norway we use “fra”.

        He’s referring to one of the examples in the text, not the one in the image.

          I see that now, my bad! The “fra” one is either Danish or Norwegian, yes.

          I suspect Danish as we use “boikott” in Norway.
