I know some words in Danish(harmful word) that have a totally different meaning in Swedish(not so harmful)

The thread also made me remember a funny story I once heard from a friend. The story happened many years ago.

It's about a store(Near a marina) and a very young girl

This girls parents own this store and one day this young girl, she was about 15 years(If I remember correctly) Helped her parents by taking care of the store.

A German couple entered the store and the German male person asked in German if they had lamps(lampe) this young girl couldn't a word in German, she could speak and understand some English
Here is what she said

Do you mean "ficklampa"(Eng-flashlight)
The German male person said
Nein in Deutschland wir ....ohne lampe

That made me laugh
