"Scandinavian" "white" "pure"

Scandinavian - a person/thing that comes from Scandinavia [Norway, Sweden and Denmark]

white - the quality or state of the achromatic color of greatest lightness [the antonym of black]

pure - unsullied/unadulterated/unmixed; in moral terms = innocent

What's the context?

Hi Feebs11 and thank you for your reply.

I am afraid that I wasn't expressing myself clear enough. My appologies. I was actually seeking the connotations of those words. I wonder what people would think if they come across the words 'Scandinavian' , 'pure' and 'white' . The context is about ice cream.

Thank you again.

Ummm

Well, no connotation for Scandinavian in relation to "ice cream". Italian, yes.

White - vanilla

Pure - contains only cream, eggs and flavourings.

If you want to know how we would link those words together into a meaning, then it makes me think of hair colour (the stereotype of a Scandinavian includes very blond/white hair). Or snow!

hi,thanks.i've learned three words as a passer-by

The context is about ice cream.


Thanks goodness! The first thing that came to my mine was Aryan -- I was afraid the context was going to be a Scandinavian neo-**** movement!

There is a very successful brand of ice cream in the U.S. called Haagen-Dazs (with an umlaut somewhere) -- the name was just made up to sound Scandinavian.

Hi Khoff

The ice cream may be excellent but there's nothing Scandinavian about the name. It may - or may not - sound Dutch.
