Straightforward invitation (Norwegian/German) 5f5v3h

In Scandinavia exists the custom of inviting friends round to your house for a few drinks before going out on the town, like a 'pre-party'. In Norway, they would use the German-sounding word voerspiel. Similarly, an afterparty is known as a nachspiel. Strangely, I don't think they use these expressions in .

Editor's note: They do, but with a completely different meaning. Vorspiel in German means 'foreplay' while Nachspiel means 'epilogue' or 'sequel'. Das wird ein Nachspiel haben literally means 'This is going to lead to negative consequences'.
