In Sweden you call this game Uno, like you do in the rest of the world I guess. But! The pronunciation is far from correct in many cases. We (or is it only me..?) have always pronounced it like a name (yes, you can be named Uno in Sweden). It's just recently I learned that it's called Uno, because Uno means 1 in spanish, and you are supposed to say Uno when you have one card left. Totally logic! Anyhow, it's a really fun game. I don't even wanna guess how many times we have played since we came here. Over a thousand, at least! That's what happens when living without tv for over a month. Lovely :)

UNO
Om man läser i reglerna så står det att man ska säga Uno när man har ett kort kvar, så långt var jag med. Men de menar inte Uno som i Uno Sveningsson, utan Uno som siffran 1 på spanska. Helt logiskt! Varför skulle det heta Uno (som ett namn)...? Är det bara jag som inte fattat det..? Kul är det det i alla fall. jag vågar inte gissa hur många rundor vi spelat sen vi kom hit. Kanske ett-tusen-tvåhundra-tjugofyra? Så går det när man har levt utan tv i över en månad. Mysigt :)

Aha Uno som i ett! Nej det har jag aldrig tänkt på, jag har nog mer tänkt på det som ett namn:)
SvaraRaderaTänk att det krävs en flytt till Mallorca för att det skall gå upp för en.
Kram Kari
Eller hur, tänk att det ska till att vi flyttar till spanien för att det ska gå upp för en :)
RaderaSkrattade gott när jag läste ditt inlägg. Du är verkligen inte ensam om att ha uttalat det som ett namn. Ropar ni "ono" (på spanska) nu? Det skulle onekligen kännas lite konstigt... nästan som ett annat spel. Ska testa nästa gång....

hihi, ja jag har provat att ropa ono istället, men det blir lite konstigt... :) Hoppas allt är bra med er! Kram.
