partner if you will gift say it calls for to free so yeah I have

actually friat to my friend and after she said yeah

so it that she not longer is my friend but she

is now my festmou yeah My festmow. So, an festmow is also,

yeah, like, what can you say? If we have a poikvend and a flickvend, mann, it can, so-clart be the woman also.

Oftenst are the mannens that friar. That fria it means, that you feel you gifta you

with me? Will you gifta day with me. It is to free. So I freer to my friend. She said, yeah. It means that she is now my festmue. It means that we are now forloved. We have forloved us. To forlova

say, ah, that means that that you're lovare to gifta say. It's what the word comes from. That you know, that you're going to give to say. You're forlova-seye. So, you're then, forloved. It is a luster

on ectenship. Ektenskensk is what you have after you have gifted us, so. We have gift us. now have we a actenscape

together after you have given me so have one an ectenscape and to forlova say is a

love to it's a lawver that you can gift to so there are many

words here that maybe are new for you so therefore

I say I don't many times. And, yeah, so she is my festmough, and I are then, hernest, festman. Festmough, festman, a mow, it is like an gammalt word for an young woman, a mow. We don't use it longer, we don't, we don't, but we say the word of festmue. So, and

And, enlixt Swedish tradition, so say we that you have a year on to give to after

you have forloved and we have not planerate when we should gift us

when it should be brulop and a brulop is you this ceremony or festen or

tradition when you're gifting it is event, can you say it calls for brullop so it comes so it will be a brulop

also the here firandet brulopet where you bributed in all friends and slectingar and you have

it calls for vigsel Vigsel is the ceremony in the church in in Sweden, is it often in a church that we have a priest that says little things and you're byter ringers and so on those things, it's Vigsen and therefore it also Vigselring

And then after Vigsen So have one often a brulops fest So there have you many new words And I think also Prata little about different traditions in different lenders So there are different things To example

Also have you a Forlovings ring Ska Man go near on Knaa Should you buy a ring before the foreloving or you'll buy the ring together after

forlovingen and yeah and it, there are different traditions in different lenders and I think that very many thinker on

how it is in Hollywood films and in Hollywood films so are it often a, so a big romantic overrasking

that mannen have planned an, a strong overraskning often on an offently

place with a mass other people, to example in a restaurant. I think

restaurant is well oftenest the, it's like the, like, the, like,

the, like, the, Hollywood films when a man friar to a woman. As said, that fria is that you're asking if the woman

will gifting me. You say, will you gifta you with me? It is at friar. It is a friari. It is a friari. Also, that man friar. And, yeah.

And you, You know, you have also an dear forlovings ring that you have kept in forway, so you must planar much and you must buy a

very fine ring to give to the woman that you want to freer to. So it is Hollywood and I am that it is the normal in USA.

there are some different to example in in Sweden so

yeah I think that we have many influences from Hollywood

but I think that in in in Sweden so so is

it not very very that that we discuss

it here together that you that man you talk

on if you can gift and so but we have also so-clart a friarie and I think it is quite vanly in Sweden that

that mann actually go down on on knee also that go near on it means that you setter one can't

in the gulfet or in the market so you can you go down on knee. You go near on knee, and you're free.

And that I think I are quite a very but I think that it is more to do

it a little more private. So in Sweden so gillar people to be a little

more private not so offently so if you like you like

to do something more private. So I think that it is It is It's a very That you can't

Discutterer this a little in the foreway That you do it A little more private I know That, to example My father I know that

My Papa He friade On Kna When they were on a race To Frankrique And then They came

And then he And kept Ringar Tons So And he had not bought a ring in the far-way,

but they kept ringers together after friariet. And so. And that I think I

are quite very very that you probably buy rings together, but that you have a

forlovenings ring. And you have a forlovings ring on the

venster ringfinger in Sweden. For that it skilger between

different different lenders which hand man bear ringen

so in Sweden is in the a a vigsel ring that you

can setter on his finger when you then be viged of the priesten so

yeah so so is it in Sweden I must say that I

know I know I don't not yet much about this but I have done

a research I have asked people and it works about so here

in Sweden. So, but the person that I freered to is not Swedish, but she is from Marocco. And there there are little

other traditions. Also, she has been in Spain very long and, yeah, we have not done things in many Moroccan's traditions

but it can't are interesting to talk about how it traditional

is in Morocco even if we have done that but

how much traditional in Morocco so so there there

this dating period and you have not poyvvvv

and you can absolutely not be so if you're not gift but if you want to date

someone in Marocco also traditional now for the time so so so are there many who are more modern and progressive

or what you can say a little more all are not traditional but if we we're talking about traditional people so if you will date

someone, so you must you have a have a with the family, come with

govour and officially free to the kind of we talk about a man that is so quite a

man who will free to a woman so you must forlova you first

before you can begin you can start this person. And the parents must say, okay. And, yeah, and then is the here

paret forloved. And you can begin learn to each other and you can begin to date and so. And you have, often not

no one forloving's ring, but you can, you can, when you get to see. And in Morocco is

on the right hand. So, yeah, it's a little different traditions. And I have done a little

otherlunda against Sweden. Yeah, after we are an international pair, and we live in

a third-land, so are we a little more freer with what we do. And, and another

The one of A different is that how long you're waiting you know with to gifting say that

you start you are dating a person and you are together you are together you are

a pair how long is it normally is it normal to wait inan when you

give to for in Sweden so is it it's very that you want to

get many years with to give to get and some

people just just just so it's very flexible

in in in in I know I don't but

but um in in Morocco so so I give

you get you and I think in many lenders so gifter

you know, say, maybe quite time. Absolutely. Inan you have

children. But in Sweden, so gifting people often after you have had gotten.

So, it's a little random with it there. So it is also

an interesting detail. I think actually it it, it can't rimly

to get to get so forth you, so actually will be with

this person that you know that this is my person and

it seems rimly to take that that take the

step actually and it is something something that always

have been very very very very is my person. This is a person I want to be with. I have actually

had very difficult with it in my life, it's difficult to choose someone, that's difficult to want to bind me. And I have to have been able to

forrestle me that I actually can know so for a person. I have a hard to I don't really, I feel like to

think with it I feel like oh man this person will I want to for the whole

my life I want I will I will let in this person in the person 100%

in my heart I've had I've had I've been in my life

so it feels very very very good that I actually are there now.

So I think, I wanted, I wanted, I wanted to, for if you are like I, also if you are a person

who has really, to really, well, to, to, that, to, really,

to really, to really, to let in someone, 100% in your heart, to,

to really will, the person, and say, this is my person,

end of slut. If you are, if you are like I, so, so will I just say that it is absolutely and it will happen if you really want to try that person. If you really will it and are open for it and trore on it, so come it happen. You must just follow your intuition and not be for rationalize, not rationalize all, but follow more his chancella, can't it good

with this person, can't it right, okay, then it's just to, to continue to be with that person.

And if you have not have tried that person then so, so you're doing if you really really

will it and are open for it and trust on it. So that was that I will talk about today. I hope that you have learned a little new word

about forloving about to give and some things. And, before we start here, so will I say that I have an another very glad newness. And it is that
