    Sometimes i think that Swedish language is specifically designed to confuse anyone who tries to learn it. For-för or ar-är confusion pales in comparison to awkwardness that mixing up kissa and kyssa can cause.

    I speak Norwegian fluently and understand 95% of Swedish. I am fascinated with the differences. Swedish vowels are different. And the intonation and rhythm are different. I now understand why Norwegians sound deliriously happy to the Swedish ear. Anyway thanks for the upload. God Jul!!

      After visit a recent open IKEA store in a country that speaks only Spanish (I never imagine something like this happened, in my life) what a great opportunities to get in touch with Swedish, but learning German somehow helped me in, if not spoken here, at least have some help in understanding the Swedish language. Is interesting that IKEA became the best ambassador to Sweden I ever know of and I liked it. Great store and interesting language.

    Hej, Daniella! Jag har en fråga / Jag vill fråga dig - is there a difference between "Längtar efter" and "Saknar" - in the context of "I miss somebody"?

    • @EmmaSuprema888
      @EmmaSuprema888 Рік тому +4

      I'm not Daniella, but I can tell you that "Jag längtar efter dig" would translate as "I long for you / I'm longing for you", whereas "Jag saknar dig" would be "I miss you".
      "Saknar" also has the meaning of "missing" such as in a context of a "chair missing a screw", or "stolen saknar en skruv". Therefore, "saknar" is literally "being without / missing".
      I hope I managed to clarify things for you.

    Thanks for the very helpful and informative video!! I'm kind of confused about the sentence "Pastan äter människorna" though, because I would have assumed this to mean "The pasta is eating the people" (which doesn't make sense, of course 😂) because of the word order. Can the subject and object of a sentence simply be switched like that? How do you know which is which (in cases where it's less straightforward from context)? What are the rules for this? 🤔

    12:59 As if English isn’t any weirder.
    The pitch accent, it’s worth noting, is vaguely reminiscent of tonal languages like Vietnamese, Chinese, or Croatian. Also, the ä is more similar to English A, so it helps to visualize that when pronouncing it.

    Ok, so French rules of pronounciation are sim😊le because the vowels are always pronounced the same. It's just endings of words that are written but not pronounced that are challenges. Oh, and the cédille just keeps the "c" sound soft when it would otherwise be a hard "c", like in the word "français". Without the cédille, tgat "c" would be pronounced with a hard "k" sound

    Scandinavian people always say that it is a waste of time to try to learn their languages because they already speak English,so,why am I watching this?I have the impression that people from Scandinavia are not proud of themselves,they should be proud of their cultures and languages
