    Vocab question : How do you say novel, story, short story, article, fable, etc ? :)

      novel = roman
      story = berättelse, historia
      short story = novell
      article = artikel
      fable = fabel

      So, novel and novell are false friends :).

              No, not really. It's more like boo-ken, with a long boo.
