Säteritak
"Okay kiddo, so have you ever seen a roof on a house? Well, a säteritak is a type of roof that is common in some places in Sweden. It's a special kind of roof that is slanted and has a really steep angle, like a triangle.
But here's the trick: under that roof there is usually an attic space that's used for storage or as an extra room. That's why you'll see a big window sticking out from under the roof, and it's called a dormer window.
The roof is often covered in red wooden shingles that kind of look like fish scales - have you ever seen those on a toy or something? The shingles overlap each other to keep rain and snow from getting inside the house.
So, that's what a säteritak is - a special kind of slanted roof with an attic space underneath that's used for living or storage. It's popular in Sweden and gives houses a unique look!"
