After one year of living here I just understood what they were saying to me, and that is only because of this video, so I just want to thank you so much.
Awww 😍😍. I am so happy to hear that!
Finnish people often go to Stockholm and every time I went I've been having a panic attack hoping that no-one talks to me 'cause I can't understand. 😱 Let's see if this will change.
”Vill du ha påse? Nej, tack” 😊
I did my post-graduation from Stockholm University, during my staying in Sweden I was not serious about Swedish language but now I miss it and a feeling has developed in my mind nowadays to learn Swedish, because I love Sweden. This time I'm damn serious. Thank you for your great works
You can do it! 💪
Me too I really loved my stay in Sweden
So glad I came across your channel; I used to be always scared when going to Kassa because never was fast enough to understand what they asked and indeed answered nej tack a few time, now I know why they looked confused 😅🙈 Aaaand subscribed
😅🙈
Welcome aboard 😀
Very helpful thank you!
Tack så mycke för att du lär mer mig.
Thank you sooooo much
Very important for me your lessons
Tack sö mycket.
Loved it. Great editing!
I am Swedish and have been in Thailand for many years. Now I am teaching my Thai wife Swedish since we are going to Sweden for a summer holiday. Tack för dina videor. De är roliga och informativa. Tack så mycket!
Happy to help! 😊
We also have some video courses for a bit more structured (yet fun) learning here: elansutbildning.teachable.com/
This is my second day in Sweden and just did my first grocery shopping successfully! I hope I watched this video 3 hour earlier because I picked the exact filmojlk and got tremendously confused when I found out it is not milk (and it isn’t yogurt, either) 😹
😂😂
Sorry we didnt get to you earlier. There are lots of tips and tricks to avoid things like that in our videos.
So you could watch them all! Or make all the mistakes yourself to have the funny stories to tell 😛
ahhaah that's what I bought last time instead of milk....Thank you very much for your videos its helping me a lot.
Well... then I guess you learned that lesson by yourself, the hard way 😅.
Tack så mycket! 😊👍Looking forward to more of these short and super useful conversations! 😊
More to come!
Great video . Thank you !
Thank you too!
Thank you so much ! , you're a nice instructor !
Glad it was helpful!
You are amazing. Thank you 🤍✨
You are! 🤍✨
Great video thanks. I find all your videos really informative and fun.
Glad to hear it!
Very useful, tack så jättemycket 🙏
Happy to hear that!
Amazing video, I love your smile. By the way have you made a video about kenslor? I have read in my SFI class about positive and negative emotions to express a month ago but sometimes get confused which one to use.
so clear tutorial thank you much
Glad you think so!
To be honest with you I can't stop listening to your teaching here i enjoy every single of it all, but please can you try and always number all your videos each time you upload them, so we can follow the line by line. Thanks love you ma
Noted! That is a good point!
We don't always follow a linear path, but we are going to make different playlist with everything that is out!
Amazing. Thank you for your videos. Mycket bra.
Our pleasure!
Good to fine your UA-cam channel
Happy to hear that! Hope it helps 😊
Tack så mycket

Wawww! best tutorial teacher I ever seen. You got my subscribe today and you will get my likes every day.
Wow, thanks! 😊
thank you, your videos are amazing, Ive learning a lot form them, I always feel lost when I went to the supermarket in Sweden and they asked me those questions, now I know what it means :) Im preparing for the next trip
That's great!
I really like your channel! Some of the other channels only speak Swedish from the beginning to the end, and I couldn't understand anything! Instead, you explained every single sentence in detail with English translations and scenarios. Thank you again.
Thank you for your sweet message 😃 I am glad you feel that way!
You are, by far, the best Swedish teacher on UA-cam!
tack för dina fantastiska videos!
Thank YOU for the sweet comment! 😍
Wonder lesson.
Thank you!
Amazing!
😍
I recently spent a few days in Sweden and on one of my runs to the supermarket a cashier finally asked me if I wanted the receipt. It made me kinda happy that I understood the question and videos like yours really help and inspire me to learn more Swedish. Tack så mycket!
Happy to hear you find it useful!
We did a video about going to the restaurant now as well.
So next time you can use that too!
Great!
Tack!
Thank you!
I loved this video 🤩
Now time to practice ☺️
Vi ses på ICA!
Glad you liked it! 😻
Vi ses på ICA! 😁

¡Muchas gracias Nahuel! Y mucha suerte en Gotemburgo :D
First time at ICA I bought bread yeast thinking it was butter! So definitely can be a dangerours experience to go to the supermarket! Hahahah!
Oh wow! 😅
I am curious to know how that story ended 😁
@@FunSwedish with a terrible taste in my mouth ahahahahahhahahahah
Hi, I want to learn swedish, I found you a sweet teacher. Your way of teaching is sweet. Keep helping people. Good luck. Bye.
Thank you! 😃😍
Wonderful 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Hilarious and informative! 👏
Glad you think so!
Thank you so much for the video. I've been living in Stockholm for 3 years and I still don't know the basic conversations like this one because SFI level C doesn't teach daily conversations. Your video is so helpful!!! Tack så mycket.
Glad it was helpful! A new version of this is coming soon :)
Mycket bra👍
Tusen tack
Tack
Filmjölk is available in the US now - it's from Siggi's who is best known for Icelandic-style yogurt. The package calls it both "drinkable yogurt" and Filmjölk.
Oh! Interesting! Do you like it?
When I visited my niece in Stockholm, we went to a little food store (maybe 7-11, don't judge, haha) and I wanted some juice. I picked up some apelsinjuice. I took a sip and said, "Ack! It's orange juice!" My niece asked what I thought it was. I said "apple juice." She pointed out there was a picture of an orange on it (which also looked like an apple) and asked why I thought it was apple juice. I said because it said it had "apels IN" it. Haha! That was 7 years ago and she still gives me a hard time about it... but I've never forgotten that apelsinjuice is orange juice!
That is a great story! You will remember that for sure! 😂
when life gives you apples
make apples in juice
always found it interesting how in norrland, the milk colours are completely different
They also ask us if we ant a bag. Maybe you can add that to the video :)
Tack. Jag ar visiting svierge i en few weeks. Jag tycker om dig videos :)
Vad roligt! Kul att höra att du tycker om våra videos :) Ha det jättebra i Sverige!
Tack :))
😊
You have the best videos. Thank you! I’ve spent two years studying Swedish on my own, on Duolingo, Udemy, listening to podcasts and watching TV shows and vlogs. Please show us how to make the “i “ sound. Or maybe you already have a vlogvabout this already? It is so different from the English “i” sound. I have tried, but not yet succeeded and it is driving me crazy. Help! Hjälp!
Wow, thank you! I am glad to hear that you like them :) I know. The i-sound can be very tricky. We have actually done one video about it ua-cam.com/video/aS9xpqjoXmE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=FunSwedish
Tack så mycket.. how do you ask for a bag/carrier in the supermarket?
Well... you don't really have to "ask" for a bag. At least not at the grocery store.
Ideally, once you are at the register, behind the band, there is a bunch of bags. Small, big and huge.
You just grab one bag put it in the band, with the other products you bought.
They will charge you for the bags (which are not cheap).
So you dont really need any kind of human interaction in there xD
thank you for that "Vad det bra så !!!" i couldn't understand it, when is said.
I know, it is easy to miss that. I am glad you find it useful :)
Good
Thanks :)
Do you teach Swedish classes? Via Skype or Italki?
You’d be a wonderful online teacher
Thank you!
Yes, we do teach classes. It used to be live on person but now we are doing almost all of them via Zoom! :)

@@bryanharris4473 Hej Bryan! Are you still interested in learning Swedish? Our 100 % beginner course starts soon elansutbildning.com/swedish/swedish-for-beginners/
Swedish people have ICA but Finnish people have Assmarket ( S-Market ) 😎 because we pronounce " s " like " äs ". 😀 Although for some reason my dad has always pronounced some letters the Swedish way, so he'd say " Es-Market." 🤷
Can you do a video around what we should ask there, such as "how much is this?" etc.
Great idea!
video suggestion "what to say around the table" :)
Interesting idea!
We can for sure do a video about that!
What if I'm lactose intolerant? (I'm not really, lol).
Jag alskar filmjölk så mycket. Tack för en väldig bra video!
There is usually a laktosfri variant on almost anything (if the supermarket is big enough)
❤❤❤
Is this filmjölk like the "súrmjólk" in Iceland?
We have buttermilk in The Netherlands, but that tastes different and is less thick in my opinion.
Can't say we tasted the Icelandic "súrmjólk". So can't really answer this one 😅.
It does sound like it would be roughly the same. It being "sour milk".
At least is makes more sense that "butter milk". That one is probably not the same 🤔.
Though I can't really tell 😅
Tack! Jag skulle vill att vet vad slags påsa det finns i mataffärana och hur man frågrars för en påsa.
Oh, and if you want to do a video correcting 'bad Swedish' in comments, feel free to use mine ;)
That was pretty good Swedish. I understood everything, which is what matters, isnt it? :D
Back to the question... you don't really have to "ask" for a påse (bag). At least not at the grocery store.
Ideally, once you are at the register, behind the band, there is a bunch of bags. Small, big and huge.
You just grab one bag put it in the band, with the other products you bought.
They will charge you for the bags (which are not cheap).
So you dont really need any kind of human interaction in there xD
That's funny as I did grab Filmjölken and nearly died when I tasted my coffee. p.s. They also often ask if you want a bag.
A shame that you didnt see this video before your Filmjölk incident 😂.
Could have saved you from a near death experience
You are great Daniella with your tips! Har du varit i Brasilien förut?
Tack så mycket! Nej, aldrig (eller jo, bara på flygplatsen i Sao Paulo en gång) men jag vill jättegärna åka dit en dag!
São Paulo är den största staden i landet med 21 miljoner invånare. Jag kommer från Rio de Janeiro, som är den andra staden i Brasilien. Du kan inte föreställa dig hur mycket jag tycker om ditt land, men jag vet att besök är väldigt annorlunda från att bo där!
Hej! Tack för det här video. Jag har en fråga 🙋♂️. Man kan säga, ”ursäkta, var kan jag hitta mjölk?”
Hej! Vilken bra fråga :)
Ja, nästan. Man kan säga: "Ursäkta, var kan jag hitta mjölken?"
Om du vill lära dig mer om hur man pratar i affären / på restaurang så är den här kursen perfekt för dig!

It looks like maybe filmjölk is like buttermilk, in America (and, possibly elsewhere)? If you don't know, buttermilk isn't buttery, it's sour, like it's gone off. People here sometimes use it for baking (like in buttermilk biscuits). Some people just drink it; my mormor loved it.
It looks like buttermilk is "Kärnmjölk" in Swedish.
I think filmjölk is a bit thicker than buttermilk. But I can't say I have a lot of experience with butter milk. So it might be somewhat similar :D
@@FunSwedish Lol, most people don't want *any* experience with buttermilk :).
Is filmjölk something like kefir?
Woow. Jag gjorde detta misstag i ca 6 månader. Naturligtvis var det fel från Neto-butikens kassör.
Han sa till mig "var det bra så?"Jag frågade honom, vad betyder det och han sa (anything else) och jag sa alltid "Nej, tack."
😅
The mjolk colours would be very confusing to someone from the uk, we use blue for full fat and red for low fat lol but the green one is also the semi-skimmed one. That makes me wonder if other countries use different colours too :D
Great point!
But as long as you are not getting filmjölk... it is only slightly dissapointing rather than catastrphic 😊
In the Netherlands we have very lightblue (magere melk 0,5%), lichtblue (halfvolle melk 1,5%) and darkblue (volle melk 3,5%). The red one is the buttermilk and green is yoghurt.
@@marjoleinw4100 interesting, isn't it confusing just having different shades of blue? I guess you'd get used to it 😊
@@annar6294 not when you are used to it... 😉
Talking about supermarkets/grocery stores, does Sweden have provision stores? We have provision stores here (but more like mini-marts), but we usually just call them mama shops. We most definitely don't do the ICA thing with supermarkets here, although when we want to go to the supermarket, we usually just tell people we're buying stuff😶
Also, with the "ursäkta, var är mjölken någonstans" bit, and how saying that sentence without "någonstans" sounds curt, that's usually how we ask things here😭👍 Not that we're not big on being polite (of course we say excuse me), but we mostly just want to get our groceries and go home-
Absolutely loving how in Singapore cashiers either stuff the receipt in your grocery bag or withhold the receipt without asking if you want it or not -_-

4:38 Sorry for asking. But does it mean anything in Sweden to touch cheek when saying "be extra carefull"?
Also 5:08
Sorry there, that's the latin part of me pointing to my eye to signal "watch out!" 😅
Not really a Swedish thing.
@@FunSwedish Thank you for the reply. Very interesting. :-)
Inte på affären, men en gång var det pinsamt på restaurangen när en servitör sa smaklig måltid och jag svarade 'detsamma', smh. Had ingen aning back then :D
😅
Hej. I'm about to go to Sweden for a work project and I'm supposed to have my company's fiscal number (it's a company within the EU) on every "kvitto" I take (so I can justify my expenses with them). Is it common (or even possible) to request this at supermarket or other affärer i Sverige?
You should not have any problem getting the kvitto in the supermarket or any other stores. If thet don't give it to you then you can always say "Skulle jag kunna få kvittot, tack?" :)
The recipt from the cash register will typically have info like date/time, total amount, gross/net/VAT, payment method and if cash,amount received and change returned. Also the company's organisationsnummer (corporate ID, much like a persons 'personnummer. ) I don't see how they'd get YOUR company's ID on there without adding it by hand (I doubt most grocery store style cash registers have any means of inputting random text on a receipt (a system using essentially a full computer (screen, keyboard etc) could likely do it, but that's normally not what they have in a grocery store, more likely in other places) - and adding by hand you could do yourself...
If a company were to send an invoice to your company then that would be no issue (need the VAT regitration number too, for reverse VAT charge within EU) But that wouldn't be the typical situation for a grocery store...
Curious, how would you/they deal with a receipt from say a ticket machine where no human interaction is available?
Frankly, it seems a pointless requirement. If you're handing it in that should be it (as long as the purchase is within the scope of the company, follow guidelines for expenses etc), I mean, you could just as easily ask a company to put that number on the receipt for something that doesn't/shouldn't qualify. Or am I missing something?
hej, tack
nej tack
hej då
I wish you were my teacher 😢
Well, we can fix that 😊.
We have Video courses you can take, like this one:

And we are even starting some Live Zoom courses at the end of August:

Aldrig hört någon använda Ica som generisk term när de avser Lidl eller annan kedja... Däremot ofta att man skippar Ica och i stället bara använder typen av Ica-butik (Maxi/Kvantum/), eller namnet för en given Ica-butik om den här ett, typ Ica Hallsås. Regionala skillnader kanske?
What did they say when they want you to put Pincode for your card?
I heard it a lot but I didn’t get it.
Good question! They can say it in different ways but it could be "Skriv in din pinkod" or "ange din pinkod" 🙂
Is filmjölk like kefir?
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Teach mi please double please my heart belong to you an Sweden true
I thought that " är det bra så" means " is this okay, like this amount of money meets your expectations" lol ..I used to jock about it saying to myself: "no..det är inte bra så but if you give me the grocery I bought for free da är bra" lol didn't know better 😂😂😂
Hej
hej hej :)
And how about "do you want bag?"
Great question! Vill ha du ha en påse? or sometimes they just say "påse"? (påse = bag)
@@FunSwedish tack så mycket 🙃
...a terrifying experience. It's quite strange how it can be in other countries. In Germany people have dividers that they put between each others' groceries, which they apply with great efficiency. I was quite unprepared to deal with the dividers between the groceries.Alarming. Does this happen in Sweden too?
We do use the dividers :)
Of course it depends on how crowded the place is, and now with more social distancing we are using it less. But sure.
Hope this video makes your next Swedish supermarket experience less terrifying :D
About the milk 🥛 once I took the fermented milk, in the morning I was like why? Why I did this to me...
Är filmmjölk lika som kefir?
I think that filmjölk is a bit sweeter but it is perhaps a bit similar.
this sounds like finnish curse word 9:31 lol
Netto r.i.p.
What do the cashiers say when they ask if you want a bag? I always freeze after that one 😂
Do they even ask that? Anyway it would be ”Vill du ha en påse/kasse?”
In grocery stores/supermarkets the bags are typically stored under the belt, before the cashier, so you just pick the bags you need and put on the belt along with the other items.
You are likely to get the question in other stores though, say a bookstore.
Also, the plain/normal plastic bags are heavily taxed, so many reuse the bags and bring them with them when going shopping, plastic and paper).
Most supermarket/big box chains also sell sturdier plastic bags (woven plastic w/ sewn nylon carrying straps/handles) that last a long time, for usually not much more (not taxed due to multiple use) than the plain ones, that is just for this type of reuse/bring with you.
När jag gick till mataffären i sverige för första gången att köpa mjölk, köpte jag filmjölken. Jag trodde att mjölken har gått dåligt.😂
🙈🙈🙈
🤣
Vi ses på Ica eller vi ses i Ica ?
Vi ses PÅ ICA :)
@@FunSwedish Interesting. Hope there is some explanation for it : )
You should add some more sentences. For example by the butcher, they normally say "Ja tack" to indicate your turn.
Also you should tell people that the prices you see like 9.95 , doesn't mean you get back change. Only in Sweden I ever see they give a currency price where you can't get change.
And how to ask " how much," Hur mycket ? Or Hur mycket kosta det?
Also mentioned that you are now a cashless society band you have to do self check out
Great points!
Interesting, never though about those small cents you can't get back in chash.
Might be becacuase we pay most things with card / digitally, so it doesnt make that much of a difference 🤔.
You forgot " do you need to buy a bag"😀?
Yeah I can understand what they say it in swedish something like ''posay''😃
ICA
1,5% fett!?
Här i Lettland har vi mjölk med >3,2% fett och det är riktig mjölk.
1.5% is "mellanmjölk" (middle milk, usually green packaging/text. 3% is our standard milk, usually red, "lättmjölk" (light/skimmed milk) is 0.5%, usually blue.
Vi SES
Det gör vi!

Thanks for this video really help me 😊 it’s hard if u don’t understand swedish especially when u live in small city 🥲 🙏
