Personally, if I had scored this question (well, I wouldn't never have asked it in the first place), I would probably have accepted Roumania. In many languages, the reflexive pronoun in first and second person is the same as the object form of the object pronoun. I don't know for sure about Roumanian, but it is true for all other Romance languages I know. And 'te' looks very much like 2nd person singular. (Languages where this is not true are the Slavic languages and English.)

I also like to thank Garmt for his thorough work with the scoring, which brought me to #2. I submitted Jaguar as a car that Bond had driven, but being asked to name a film, my answer was that I hadn't the faintest idea, not having seen any Bond movie, and finding the question uninteresting. The Jaguar was just an intelligent guess. Then Garmt goes on, and find the Jaguar in the books about James Bond!

ObTri via: Actually, there was a car model that immediately came to my mind, when I saw the question, but I know that it was unlikely to be correct. The car was a Volvo P1800. Where did I get it from?

Yeah, that's why I got fooled into thinking I didn't need to check it. According to Wikipedia, in Romanian the accusative of 'tu' is not 'te' but 'tine'.

I got thoroughly nervous and put PNG, and got stunged with the top score; doh, I was sure(?) what he meant, that is, that he was after a separate word, and then anyhow, chose a bad one.

From the fact that you Swedes think that Volvo is actually a car

Or from 'The Saint' perhaps?

Yeah, even if it is equipped with Nokian tyres. (So, there!)

Yup. Roger Moore played Simon 'The Saint' Templar. That was on the telly when I was a kid, which is why I know it.
