EIYÄÖ är mjuka vokaler, så där uttalas konsonanterna k och g som "tj" och "j" istället. Det är därför "göra" bara stavas med g, eftersom ö är mjukt, medans gjorde/gjort måste stavas med gj eftersom o är en hård vokal.

    Its fun to see someone play sweden that dont know where anything is. And also, since you dont know about sweden alot of clues are missed. Mölndal stad tells you nothing but if you know sweden it tells you where you are. Every swede knows where Leksand is but if you arnt from sweden, how could you know. Its like me playing Brasil where I dont even know where the larger cities are located or what their names are.

Also Mölndal is where I grew up so kind of funny to see Lindome in a sign and instantly realise aproximatley where it was. I dont think you know where Lindome is unless you are from the Gothenburg area, whereas alot of people would know Mölndal.

    I loved it when you saw the road sign for the direction to Sollefteå and thought you where in the Town.
    Those road signs without a distance numbers are just used for directions when the road situation is complicated.
    A trick for seeing how far north you are in Sweden is how the forests look.
    Scane and the west coast is dominated by leaf trees. Middle sweden from Gävle/Stockholm and south is mixed forrest and further north is dominated by Coniferous trees with ever fewer leaf trees the further up you get.

      Only because E roads ending in 0 or 5 are meant to be the most major ones, former E3 was renumbered as E20 in Sweden while former E66 was renumbered E20 in Denmark but became E22 in Sweden, and so a connection had to be formed between Malmö and Gothenburg.

    17:22 - It feels like you were only looking in the direct proximity of the E6 and E20.
    The E6 and E20 signs are surrounded by dotted lines, which means that the sign is pointing towards them. So you can be quite far away.
    If you had been on the E6 and E20, the sign would have solid lines.

    It was frustrating watching you look after Lindome, when Lindome was in the middle of the map, all you had to do was zoom in just a little bit

    You tricked yourself with the "flat" south of Sweden. Yeah, some parts are flat, and more areable land to the south, but there are def hills and highlands to the south ad well.

    Don't worry about your Swedish pronanciation, you where very consistently butchering every single place you troed to name and no one will be upset about it.
