Ross

I believe the answer is:

ole

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scandinavian's' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'love for the french' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'o'+'le'='OLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ole that I've seen before include "Spanish hurrah!" , "Hooray for the Spaniards" , "Spanish victory cry" , "Spanish cheer" , "(In Spain) bravo!" .)
