For those that are curious, kalsong comes from latin (calceus: garment that covers the heel). In Spanish, the original word was "calza"; it referred to what we would call now pantie. The derivative words (calzado, calzón, calzoncillo, calcetín,...) referred to parts/derivatives of "calza". "Calzón" was the synonym of calza corta, a type of short pant. One advice: If your Swede partner tells you "there is no bad weather, only bad clothes", you can always answer back "I know but I left my good clothes in my country" and hug the heater as it was your lover.
Now that we are coming into winter and we have snow here in Stockholm 🥰 could we have a weather and seasons video please? With some nice friendly phrases to chat with about the weather?

I know I'm very late, sorry. But in french, we have the word "Caleçon" with a silent "e", that sounds almost exactly like "kalsong" It's funny. We definitely have some common words. I love learning swedish 🇸🇪
Hej kära lärarinnan! I mina språket vi har ord trus, och det betyder djurens skit. Men jag beundrar svenska språket väldigt mycket. Jag tänker att det är finaste och vackraste språket i hela världen. Jag tittar på dina videor eftersom min vännina säger att jag är lite gammeldags. Jag tycker om dina videorna så jättemycket! Bli frisk !
Kalsong sounds very close to spanish calzón usually called calzoncillos with the same meaning. Perhaps that is the origin. By the way, in Portugal there is a city called Braga which is the spanish name for trosa. Funny coincidences! Thank you for your channel and greetings from the south. 💖
It has for sure the same root! There are more Spanish sounding words than you would initially think in Swedish 😊. And I didnt know about the city Braga. Super interesting. Thank you for your comment and greetings from the north 😊
There are many many Swedish words that were inspired by French. This has been happening since the early 1500s, at least, and peaked in the late 1700s under our francophile king Gustav III. However, unlike in English, these words are generally much more adapted to the Swedish spelling system. (English instead changed the pronunciation heavily, but kept the spellings.)
I feel as though the Swedish words for clothes is going to be the hardest for me as I like to relate the words to English and I've found that many Swedish clothes aren't very similar to English. does anyone have any tips on this?
@@FunSwedish would you please be able to make a video which focuses on all, or the majority, of the sounds Swedish makes with constants? it could benefit me and I'm assuming many other Swedish learners to know what to look out for. tack!

Can you help us snälla? When pronouncing Inga, ingen, inget. Is G pronounced as G or is pronounced as J. Is inga inja? Because it sounds like J on Lexin application. Thanks a bunch ☺️ ❤️.. Edit. I love your channel. Learn so much, and it's very helpful for fast tips and tricks. If you should write a book I'll be first to buy it 😁☺️
In "Inga, ingen, inget" it have a normal G sound 😊. But in words like "igen" (again) it has a Swedish J sound. Thank you for the nice comments!

1:54 As a native in Stockholm-Uppsala-Roslagen, I have never ever heard "tjocktröja" as a single compound word. Sounds like you must have your roots in Norrland or Finland or something... :)
Nej, då. Precis som du så är jag 100 % Stockholmare från flera generationer tillbaka och säger tjocktröja som ett sammansatt ord precis som många andra gör. Skickar en länk från en klädbutik som också skriver tjocktröja plick.se/m%C3%A4rkeskl%C3%A4der/weekday/trojor/tag/tjocktroja Däremot behöver det inte byta att något sätt är bättre än det andra. Det kanske finns olika sätt att säga det på även inom Stockholm och båda är korrekta :)
@@FunSwedish Säger inte att det är dåligt, bara att jag aldrig hört det, annat än uppe i Norrland. Vad en klädbutik säger idag är rätt irrelevant, oavsett om det skrevs i Stockholm eller ej. Halva stan har bytt befolkning sedan jag föddes. Som ett talande exempel, bland många, finns idag fler samer i Stockholm än i Norrland. (Nej, jag har inget emot dem, tvärtom.) Något "korrekt" bryr jag mig heller inte om. Det tänkandet är jag för postmodern för (även om tidsandan gått för långt inom många områden).
Interesting. Some languages use the word meaning butterfly for bow tie. I found that the Swedish word is fluga which means fly (insect). I think I prefer the idea of wearing a butterfly. 🤣
Lol one of my favorite candy bars is skor. It's a hard toffee and better than heath bars. But I have an ex that thought that was funny because "i eat shoes" 😂
Who else wishes Namco had Lars Alexanderson from Tekken talking in Swedish?! 😃 🇸🇪 Well? He IS indeed apparently a Swede! 😃 🇸🇪 Same for his robot girlfriend Alisa Bosconovitch talking in Russian cuz she is a Russian but no… They have them both talking in Japanese! 😝 They got Lili talking her native language, French since Tekken Tag 2!
It's funny how almost every video about Sweden that is intended for foreigners mentions that you need to take the shoes off when inside. I thought that is a general rule ...
You should stop stealing French words. kalsong, byrå, kostym, etc. (and many more :p ) for townnames, every country probably has some silly ones. in French with have a lot, lika "anus", "anxiety", "fingernails", "pussy" (the animal and the female privates), "poors", "hair", "lost town", "drunk", "old", "sigh" and many sexual or dirty slang words.

"Kalsong" and "Kalsingar" must be from latin because we have words with very very close pronunciation in portuguese: "calção" and "calcinha".
For sure! We have lots of words with latin roots 😊
Procurando alguém pra estudar junto, bora ?
I know I'm very late, sorry.
But in french, we have the word "Caleçon" with a silent "e", that sounds almost exactly like "kalsong"
It's funny. We definitely have some common words. I love learning swedish 🇸🇪
Kalifjåmper
Kalsonger, also called ”kalsipper” and ”fillingar” 😅
cant wait the plural structures video :)
Working on it!
Please do that plural vid before my swedish exam XD
😂😂 When is it?

@@FunSwedish I'm eager to know about those Spanish sounding words in Svenska. 😉😘
they took it from French.
Av franska caleçon, av italienska calzoni (”byxor”) pl, av calza ("socka")

That is true! Some of the older words have less similarties. In things like clothes.
Which in tech, with lots of new words we take a lot form English

Buen video
With regards to skärp dig, there is the same phrase in English - Belt up, which literally means to be quiet
But _skärp dig_ literally means "sharpen yourself" (i.e. mentally).
En trosa is close to the English word "trousseau" which means both a dowry, and the clothing a bride prepares for her wedding and honeymoon.
Yes, both from french.

Tack för lektionen! What do you call sneakers (trainers)?
We actually don't have a word for sneakers so we just call them "skor" (shoes)
@@naedu877 Tack!
Yes, skor or gympaskor and mostly use the English word "sneakers" :)
@@naedu877 They were called gymnastikskor, tennisskor, seglarskor or tygskor during most of the 1900s.
Alsooooo, That bowtie= fluga , which is also the word for a fly (the insect)!
what is the word for bow tie?
fluga :)
Kalson comes from the italian word 'calezon' who means 'trousers'.
yes, we most have borrowed that word from you or from latin.
Can you help us snälla?
When pronouncing Inga, ingen, inget.
Is G pronounced as G or is pronounced as J.
Is inga inja?
Because it sounds like J on Lexin application.
Thanks a bunch ☺️ ❤️..
Edit.

Un caleçon is French for boxer shorts. It can also be used for a man's swim trunks.
Actually it has been borrowed from the italian word 'Calezon' who means 'trousers'.
'Een rok' is a skirt in Dutch. 'Een kleed' [klayht] would be a dress.
Interesting! That would make it a bit confusing I guess 😅
Men, vad är en 'bow tie' nu? Också en slips?
Fluga 😊
"glesbsbygdskavaj" var en Fleecetröja, "Blattekostym" är idag en träningsoverall.

Swedish helps you with german too :)
Kan du inte ta lite lektioner I’m “jantelagen”skulle vara interesant for manga
If you want to impress one can say "Tischa" instead of t-shirt. :)
That is great advice 😁
1:29 as a spanish speaker this was unexpected and hilarious HAHAHAHAHA
Sí, jaja el ejemplo de "Juan" sirve mucho (especialmente para los que hablan español) para acordarse del sonido SJ en sueco 😉
@@FunSwedish Si, es un muy buen ejemplo :) Es que me ha sorprendido que ese meme fuera conocido fuera de países hispanos jajaja
Japan has kimono, Korea has hanbok, Germany has Dirndl and Brazil has bikini.
What about Sweden?
What kind of traditional clothes does Sweden have?
The Swedish traditional clothing... from the old days are almost never used nowadays.
Search folkdräkter and you will get a sense of it 😊.
Lol one of my favorite candy bars is skor. It's a hard toffee and better than heath bars. But I have an ex that thought that was funny because "i eat shoes" 😂
Are these sentences the same?
Jag har på sig jacka
Jag har jacka på sig
Great question! The correct sentence would be "Jag har på mig en jacka". If you use "jag" you need to put "mig" :) Good luck with your Swedish!
@@FunSwedish yeah i forgot to use "mig" tack
Daniella is the cutest redhead in the buisness
❤❤❤❤❤🎉
I like this, to be without shoes at home. They have dirt and bacteria.
Lol 😂 I always forget to remove the skoskydd I use in dagis after dropping my baby brother
😂😂 It can get pretty slippery with those on, so be careful.
Duolingo teaches "trooja" means sweater, "skjorta" means shirt, and "rock" means coat. Is this incorrect, or is it a dialectal thing?
