Thanks everyone!
This was great to get home to - as you might know I was in Belgium for my birthday, and coming home to find this made me really happy!
ARE YOU LEGAL YET FUCKING SHIT JESUS CHRIST
In Sweden I've been legal for three years. LOLAMERICA
Oh yea, Aranka is pretty much the coolest name I have ever heard.
Yay, thanks!
Also, how is Aranka pronounced?
I always say it as "Uh-Rahn-kah" with the emphasis on the "rahn". Am I far off?
I've asked her several times on skype how to pronounce it and every time she says that she doesn't even know
That's probably as close as you get. And it's true that I don't really know! There's the original, Hungarian pronunciation, which could be used since both my parents speak Hungarian. But we use a more Swedish one that Swedes have no problem with. This pronunciation is not natural to native English speakers, though, and while Brits tend to say it pretty good it sounds terrible when Americans try. "Ah-rahn-kah" is the best one yet, but I hate it when people go "Uh-RAAN-kah." Anyway, when English-speaking people ask, I get so confused myself I just dismiss the question.
