English translation:Beyond words
Explanation:
This calls for a little explanation. Fatter ord literally translates to «understands words». Some beauties, often blond ones, are often challenged in this respect. Easier, rather, to imagine that fatter stems from the Swedih fatta, meaning to lack. Hence, a beauty that words cannot describe - a beauty beyond words.
