Full marks for me - the full 7! (3 were guesses with strong inklings that turned out to be right).
It comes from having a memory like a dustbin lined with velcro. All sorts of crap sticks to it, but sometimes comes in useful!

I am a swot!

5/7-- missed two with British origins, but proud of my Danish deduction. Thanks for the link, sweetpotatoboy!

Yes, the Danish one was a deduction for me, based on my patchy knowledge of Old English!

I know the best cheese for sandwiches is provolone but it's practically non-existent in this country. *sulks*

I guessed the Danish one correctly, I went for the obvious translation. Watching those Scandi crime dramas is beginning to pay off!

5/7. I'm actually pretty proud of myself!
