I think this one is more useful in daily life, but I fear I will confuse ful and full.
"Problemet är att du är för full."
Nordic people, known for their frankness and straightforwardness of communication.
I thought the usual cliche about Swedes is that they are passive-aggressive rather than "frank" and "straightforward"? Personally, having moved here after a few years in NL, I find them wonderfully polite for the most part :-)
So that is were I get this passive aggressive stuff from.. Thanks. He he.
Yeah, it's called honesty, there's no point on losing time saying the same in 2 whole pages :D
That's more the French. They really are frank.
Once in France, this older couple said to me, "I though all Americans were tall."
Yes no wonder why france in swedish is called “FRANKrike”
Sorry just thought it was funny
Every once in a while guys you make me laugh out loud to myself.... It is too funny :) You get so focused on the translation bit, that when you do comprehend what is being said it just cracks you up... Jag älskar duolingo!

Too drunk to what? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7TWLxCIgwE :D (OK, I'll seek myself out)
But I thought Det finns många speglarna på restaurangen. Finns det många speglarna på ditt hus också?
Very good, but two minor issues:
- många speglar, otherwise you're saying "many the mirrors"
- i ditt hus, unless you mean they're attached to the outside
Doh! I knew #1, too. If it is "i ditt hus", then why isn't it "i restaurangen"? I thought på in this case meant at. Thanks!
A house is always a building, but a restaurant doesn't have to be. So in the latter case, you can use på to mean its inner walls, so to speak.
Yeah, when that's what you have learned as affection growing up. Otherwise it would not be an insult but a joke.
So the difference between ful and full, when speaking, is that saying "ful" means ugly, and going like "fuull" (a long U, kind of) means drunk or full/filled, right?
Yes, but please note that ful has the longer vowel sound and full the shorter. :)
M.r Hins what is the difference between,,very,, and,,too,, in this specific sentence
No, you're ledsen. We use ledsen for being sad, and sorglig for something or someone feeling sad to someone else.
