Swedish lesson

Hey, let's learn some Swedish. It's an adorable language, and like all others it has words that cannot be perfectly translated. Relating back to the café reviews, I decided the first one should be...

Fika

"The act of drinking a hot (or cold) beverage while ingesting some sort of pastry or dessert at a café or bistro of various setups [alternatively at home]. Fika can describe either the act alone or the gathering of two or more people to perform said act. Further more it can also describe the items being ingested during said act. Originally a Swedish word now making its way around the world.

Exampes:
I'm feeling peckish, let's have some fika!
Hey guys, do you want to meet up and fika?"
