Danish term or phrase: at synes om hverandre
In a letter written in 1907 by a Danish immigrant in Wisconsin to his father in Denmark, he adds the following postscript: "Børnene taler tidt om og spørger efter Bestefader. I kom nok til at synes om hverandre. Hilsen fra dem alle..." It's clear that the children often talk and ask about Grandfather, but does the following sentence simply mean: "You came to like one another"??????
