Compound Swedish words - Sammansatta ord

Swedish has some very long words. Buy it is mostly due to something called sammansatta ord (compund words).
If you want to read Swedish with fluency, knowing the rules of Swedish compound words will help you a lot.
Plus the trademark Swedish pronunciation and tonality also come, many times, from how we pronounce compound words in Swedish. Since we put a stress in every hidden word.
And since we are in the valentine's day spirit, compound words are arguably the most romantic of words. Romantic in a sense that it’s basically two or more words becoming one. In this video we take a look at some Swedish compound words and how to think when constructing them.

Maybe you could also mention that if compound words are written separately they change the meaning of the sentence. For example: En brun hårig sjuk sköterska vs. En brunhårig sjuksköterska.

I speak German fluently yet sometimes I don't know when to put the "s" in compound words. No native German speaker has been able to explain this to me hehehe. The fact that I already speak German makes me less afraid of the Swedish compound words. Bring 'em on!

We usually don't use an "genitiv - s' or so in compound words. Just barely put the words together. One of the exceptions is the famous word "Krankenschwester - sjukskötterska" It is formed of the posessive form "Schwester der Kranken - Sister for (that takes care of) the ill" with an genitiv "n"

As someone who has been learning Russian off and on for a number of years there are quite a few long words. For example. здрастувйте. "Hello" (formal). Or влогодарю. "Thank you." (formal). However, this is very formal and I barely see Russian people use this very formal way of thank you. Most just say the common спосибо. Big words do not frighten me often except maybe in Finnish or Hungarian so, far.

This is ok in comparison of the German language where word compounding is used oftener. Thanks to God! :)

And what about word VINTERSAGA? Is it compound word of winter and saga? It pronounced vinterSHaga, so is it exception in pronunciation rule when two words combined together in compound do not change one another?

@michaeltempsch5282 2 жыл бұрын

Yes compound. Saga means fairytale/story, so a Winters fairytale. I can't see neither the vinter, nor the saga,in vintersaga is pronounced any different than the separate words. And that's not with any sh sound... just a straight S, same as in spik, stol, spara, BTW, can recommend you check out Jerry Willams Vintersaga från Börsen here om KZfaq. The talk before the song is VERY Stockholm-y 😀 and the text/lyrics quite illustrative of Sweden. There's also a nice illustrated version - replace 'från Börsen' with 'bilder' in the KZfaq search
