Marija Tiurina is an artist who used foreign language words as her inspiration in this series created for NeonMob. The words all have no one-word English equivalent and it is fascinating to see them explained in this way.

#7 It's written "Pålegg" with an Å/å instead of just an A/a. Å/å is pronounced like the "o" in "ordinary". The word means "to put on" from "legg" = put and "på" = on.

#4 Also exist in Scandinavian as "Skadefryd".
