Snaps and schnapps

As this is Wikipedia in English, I'm asking for an opinion of native English speakers: shouldn't one write, instead of 'snaps' as in Swedish, 'schnapps' as in English when talking about a 4 cl (or smaller), that is, the equivalent of a shot glass or less, of vodka or other colorless unflavored, neutral distilled liquor? The 'schnapps' entry is present in Wikipedia.en. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.231.149.70 (talk) 01:30, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The term snaps was borrowed from Swedish. "Schnapps" refers generally to various kinds of strong liquor and does not refer to a shot of liquor, whether small or large. In English and German, "schnapps" is not used in the context of drinking songs or drinking rituals. Wahrmund (talk) 02:31, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bellman removed

Fredmans epistlar etc. are not snapsvisor. Some of the songs are drinking songs but those exist throughout Europe and don't follow the pattern of snapsvisor. Bellman's drinking songs follow a general European Bacchanal pattern - mixed with lots of other things, since he is Bellman.

This article has lots of external links, that unless they are dead perhaps can be used as sources for the article. The article at svwp aren't sourced either, but I find the definition of snapsvisa there, as opposed to general drinking song, useful. --Stighammar (talk) 11:23, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
