Hejsan Vicky:
"Tjena Tjena" användas mellan flickor?:open_mouth:
( "Tjena Tjena" be used between girls? )
Det är ljud precis som "Tjej" vara flicka i svenska ...:sweat_smile:
( It's sound just like "Tjej" be girl in swedish... )
Hej Adolf,
Vi säger "Hejsan" ibland också istället för "hej". (We say "Hejsan" sometimes too instead of "Hej".) :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
