If "flot" has the same meaning as 'flott' in Swedish (?) I think it's better to write "stylish". Besides, it's perfect

And yes, you're right, jedi2000, even in English (that borrowed a French word here) "façade" reads with the "ç".

Hi Francky,
In English, both are correct.

Bamsa, what do you think about Pia's suggestion?

I would say Pia is right

People use "flot" all the time about things that are beautiful, but it isn't the right word. "flot" is something that is good-looking, attractive or stylish. Beautiful in Danish is "smuk"
