Name formats
All Nordic languages use [first name last name] as the common name format. Forms of address such as "Dear Mr Jones" are often left out, as titles are not commonly used in greetings. Instead, the translation may just read the equivalent of "Hello [first name]" or even leave the name out altogether and simply greet the addressee with the equivalent of "Hello".
