Your American friend did well. Impressive! Funny, the word “sju” is quite hard for foreigners I’ve noticed among friends of mine.

I have an American friend and he has learnt Swedish for a very short time. One of the only things he knows to say in Swedish is ”You are a coconut"

That’s the most important thing to know in Swedish, so useful!!😂🙌👌

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

12:28 "orka" is somewhat equivalent to "cope", as in I can't cope with that right now
Järnspikar is very dated/vintage, it's like saying "dang nabit" or "holy ceasars ghost" in English

[@Wallis184]

I'd say it's more like "exhausted", like... If you've been at work for 8hrs and done a lot of stuff, then you get home and someone asks you to do the dishes, then you say "jag orkar inte" which in the best way imo would be translated to "I can't, I'm exhausted" in English

[@hedviglinnea]

I would say its more of a way to describe ones ability to perform in any situation. If you do "orkar" then you can perform, and if you dont you can't. And most often its used to describe your energy level. So if I dont "orkar" to clean, everybody will know i mean I lack the energy to do so. And its somewhat over used, since we Swedes are iften really bad at saying that we dont wan't to do stuff sometimes, and then we often tend to say we dont "orkar", when we really just dont feel like it. My kids often use "orka" as something positiv, like "I have the muscles to lift this heavy thing" by saying "I "orkar" lift this" and then its used as a way to describe there abilty to perform in a positive way.

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

Så svensk är mitt modersmål och jag älskar den här video! Så underhållande och hon reaktion till ”sju var rolig.😆

[@matildawolfram4687]

Nice video! My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

[@rockenrollvolbeat1453]

She is good at Swedish ❤

[@IngridFredriksson]

Yeah she is isn’t she😍👏

[@spacemaker8760]

Its not Nie and Tie. Ingrid is From the Stockholm region of Sweden where they cant say Nio and Tio and say an E instead of an O at the end wich is the correct way to say it. No its not toaletten thats the toilet in swedish. She asked you to say the bathroom = badrummet

[@courtneykayser1213]

You should've had her try to say skådespelerska. That word is such a pain into the ass to say at first. Either that or föräldrarna.

[@courtneykayser1213]

@Milad Zavar But if you don't know the pronunciations (which most Americans don't), it's really difficult to say on the first try. Hence why I suggested it lol.

[@IngridFredriksson]

Thank you so much for your suggestions Courtney, I’ll keep them in mind if I make another video!!😃👍

[@lajlafetherman4329]

She is really good at swedish

[@mytube001]

Ingrid has fairly strong diphthongs (like how she says "två-a" and "tre-a" instead of "två" and "tre", and "va-er" instead of "var"), which makes Alyssa's job harder, as she hears all these extra sounds that aren't present in the spoken language of most swedes. And since she hears them, she thinks they're a vital part of the pronunciation and makes them stronger.
Ingrid also has the "young" vowels (almost no one older than 35 has them, most people younger than 20 have them), where "å," "ä" and "ö" become less distinct and all move towards an open "a" sound.

[@Livia-pc2en]

She’s so good/ hon e så bra

[@PrinceDOfficial]

Omg seven is who but Written sju same like norsk but pronounced different. Loved this. Great work, she's not bad

[@Armandosweden]

Orkar är just ett sånt där typiskt "lagom" Svenskt ord. Dock är det Engelska ordet "Cope" typ så nära man kan komma. Ska du säga "Jag orkar med det" heter det snarare "I can handle it" medans "Jag har ingen ork" uttrycks med "I have no strength" Intressant och rolig annars! Best Of Wishes! /Gabriel

[@chloewenzel7869]

for me (an american learning swedish) i think the hardest part is those words that have a sound in the back of your thoat like hej and dig but i have no trouble saying things like sjuksköterska lolol. the noise was always decribed to me as wind over water tbh

[@janski1476]

in Finland we are taught the pronunciations way different

[@yesthisismyname1561]

Yeah cuz the swedish in finland is different

[@rubricen]

She is actually very good. I hope she study languages.

[@skaggulkbergstrom2019]

Vi tenderar även att dubbla orden när vi hälsar,. typ
Hej hej , morrn morrn, Goddag goddag, tjena tjena osv.

[@sirkad541]

Orka - like 'can't cope'

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

1:27 vocally yes, but not in written form, in Swedish it's spelled Tack while in Danish it's Tak, which is "roof" in Swedish, but not pronounced the same.

[@IngridFredriksson]

Thank you so much for all of your informative comments Rikard!!

[@X_whatever]

Rikard Nilsson ”tak” is also roof in Swedish

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

@@X_whatever that's...what I said..?
Danish: tak = thanks, tag = roof
Swedish: tak = Roof, tag = take
In general Danish don't use a lot of c's btw.

Jag säger som hon gör och det gör nog alla jag känner (som talar rikssvenska och även stockholmska). Är från Stockholm. Sju är nog vanligare utanför kanske. Känner finlandssvenskor som säger sju och inte schu. Farsan är från Småland och säger nog schu, men han har iofs förlorat sin dialekt sen han flyttade hit som 17.

[@MoJohnnys]

For those learning English, be careful not to mix up "fun" and "funny".
Funny=comedic/strange
Fun=entertaining/enjoyable
That movie was funny. =
That movie made me laugh/was comedic.
That was a fun movie. = I enjoyed that movie/That movie was entertaining.
Funny meaning "strange" is used less frequently (more "last century", in a way), but here are some examplee
It tastes funny. = It tastes strange.
He looked at me funny. = He looked at me in a strange way.
