[Flame Set] #006 - Winning Lines

For 2 points signed by Garnet
Text reads-
1 vorrei baciarti!
2 [upside down ?]vamos a bailar?
3 ik hou van mijn fiets - hou jij van mir?!
4 on mange chinois ou chez toi?!
5 du weckst den tiger in mir!
6 vad du är söt!

Von was out in a bar one night and secided to try a new approach to picking up women. Given the recent fad for everything Earth-related, maybe the earth chat-up lines he'd read about would work. Sadly, he never got around to looking up their meanings, and shockingly, none of them worked - even with Von's Charm.

what languages did he attempt to woo the ladies with?

(if any one could tell me where an upside down ? is, i couldnt find it in my symbols page, I will be happy to change it when i can) (and sorry no scanner for use)

1. Italian
2. Spanish
3. Dutch
4. French
5. German
6. Swedish

Acepted as a confirmed solve.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

2) we are going to dance?
3) something about a bicycle. no idea...
4) we eat chinese or your house? (seems to be missing a few words, or a bit awkwardly translated)
5) you wake the tiger in me (rawr ;) )
6) no idea, anyone know?

Best guesses:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
3. I like my bicycle - do you like mine?!
4. What you ? haze!

Not sure that helps much more!

For the sake of interest, tidied up the meanings.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1. I want to kiss you
2. Let's Dance
3. I love my bike - do you love me?!
4. Chinese (as in meal) or my place?!
5. You wake the tiger in me!
6. You are sweet!


Poor Von, some of these would have got me.

Also I may be wrong, but

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Dutch one doesn't seem quite right
"Ik houd van mijn fiets — houd jij van mij?" would seem to be correct. Babel accepts this.

That looks like two cards based on articles in 'The Sun' then...
We know what newspaper they read at MC Wink

I work at Swedish Hospital in Seattle - so named because the hospital was founded by members of the Seattle Swedish-American community a hundred years or so ago. Many employees and patients are of Swedish descent, and confirmed the last line as "You are cute"
Maybe cute/sweet little a dimunitive form of endearment?
