I took my young son to the park to feed the ducks, saying to Swedish grandparents that Vi ska till parken och mata änkorna, we´re going to the park to feed the widows. The difference is only in the dots above the a: anka is duck, ä²Ô°ì²¹ is widow. I still get to hear about that after 20 years ...

One wild duck is an 'and', and several would be 'ä²Ô»å±ð°ù'. One little boy went to the park and said 'titta pÃ¥ ändan', which means 'look at the bum', plurals can be difficult even for natives!
