After Z I have sometimes added three words to illustrate the Danish letters æ, ø, å (= ae, oe, aa or ä, ö, aa if you haven't got a Danish keyboard).
However things shouldn't always be done in the same way, so here are some words to illustrate the three last letters of the Swedish alphabet - place notice that the Swedish letters don't come in the same order as in Danish: ågren = drunk men's songs (indeclinable) äppelmust = cider ... I couldn't find an indeclinable substantive or adjective starting on 'ä' ömse = both (indeclinable adjective, e.g. in 'på ömse håll'='on both sides') Edited by Iversen on 23 September 2009 at 1:04am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

German
Angesichts - in the face of, in light of, in view of (+genitive) Angesichts der schwierigen Situation - in view of the difficult situation. Angesichts der Gefahr - in the face of danger. Instead of "angesichts", you can say "Im Angesicht" + genitive case e.g Im Angesicht der Gefahr. Von Angesicht zu Angesicht - face-to-face.
