Det var en överaskning ;) She did really good on that Swedish!

Jag visste inte det här, fick reda på det idag 😮😮😮. Så många gånger man har sett hennes filmer i över 30 år

Ok wow... this gave me chills. Not so much that she knows Swedish though it was suprising but more of WHERE she learnt it. Pretty much the town over from where I currently live XD and here I thought it was gonna be Stockholm or something... nope. Sandviken.

kolla beskrivningen (y)

Kanske för att hon var ihop men finnen Rennie Harlen.....eller vad han hette?

Dissaa du Finland? 😑

Jag tyckte hon lät lite som drottning silvia när hon snackade svenska 😀

@@kebabman1968 The Famous RENNY HARLIN of Finland ! He is The Best known Finnish born - Self made Man at Hollywood !

He plans to refilm The Whole Serie of PALMU - who was Chasing " wrong doers " already at 50s & 60s Helsinki !

"Ja men" is technically equivalent to "yes but", although I believe that "Ja men" is used a bit more as filler words compared to in English. In this situation, it is more like "well actually".

tror faktiskt hon säger nämen, jag kan inte.

@@basseman4239 Jepp, hon säger "nämen".

Minsann i allsindar!

I took swedish for 3 years and tbh I know more latin than swedish nowadays. Swedish is tough to learn.

@@kuutti6777 Not really. Latin was much more difficult. I lived in Sweden for nine months.

Depends a lot on how willing you are to learn another language as well, though. A lot of people rely too much on English, and this never really leads anywhere. She probably insisted on trying to learn Swedish and stick to that language as much as possible, and probably also checked Swedish/English dictionaries a lot. You can learn a lot in just a couple weeks that way.

The fact that she only spoke Swedish for one year and still remebers after what, like 20 years of probably never saying a Swedish word is pretty impressive to say the least. I dont remember anything from my German classes and i finnished school 2 years ago.

+toby It largely depends on how willing you are to actually use the language yourself. One mistake that I often see foreigners make in Sweden is that they use English all the time - they know that we are really good at English in Sweden, so they kinda take advantage of that, and I consider that a big mistake. Geena Davis most likely tried her best to understand the Swedish language instead of just relying on English, and this can have amazing results and really help with long-term memory as well. You can learn a foreign language very quickly if you always try using it while you live in the country where it's spoken. Geena Davis was also married to a Finnish guy (and that's probably why she speaks Swedish with a Finnish accent in this video), and Finnish people tend to know at least a little Swedish since they learn it in school, and some parts of Finland even have Swedish as their official language.

Laurelindo I am Swedish so i know all that already. Im not talking about how fast a person learns a language, im saying that it's amazing that she still remembers it after probably 20+ years of not saying a Swedish word at all.

She doesn't speak it fluently. Far from it.

That's what brought me here !!

i would think its swedish with a finnish twang thru a finnish filter. Im swedish but my fathers side of the family is from österbotten - the north of Finland were swedish is prevelant in some parts. Meaning swedish is their native tounge, just a different accent.

I don’t think that I have ever heard a member of the monarchy speak. Konstigt.

I think she sounds like Astrid Lindgren's storytelling voice. KONSTIGT!

This is true, nobody speaks the language properly anymore, kind of sad.

I agree that´s what I thought too She sounds like swedish people in older movies she does not sound finnish at all.

Yes, that's what I thought as well -- she sounded like one of my charming, elderly Swedish relatives. :-)

Yes, I agree with you.

well nobody really speaks any language properly beqause it takes too much effort i mean whats properly..there are different dialects aswell then we must only have one way to pronounce things, its a very human thing to not pronounce everything. - could you with all the kindness of your`re heart pass me the salt over their to your right my dearest human fellow man friend...thank you i am forever in debt and will try my best to repay you as soon as possible - pass me da sawt...fank you mai. The shorter and easier to pronounce the better, that literally goes for all languages, In russian o’s turns to a’s alot of the time cuz most of the time ist faster and easier, winteeerrr vs winta... so much easier, Är vs E/Ä, va är problemet instead? of vad är problemet? if we dont do these kind of things we are not being efficient, and we would be very slow when communicating, but slang though... if its only slang then it kind of becomes a whole other language, but britain is no stranger to that with the cockney rhyming slang, there was actually a thyming slang culture in Stockholm waaay back where they had a similar thing where they could talk with only slang (Söderslang) and that was in the 1940s but sure i can agree on when theres too much slang it doesnt sound good but as i said spoken language is more effecient when leaving stuff out and choosing easier and faster pronounciation, speaking like a book is not how most people speak and for a reason. If this was a reality then it would be one dialect per language and that would be boring for alot of people which i dare to think is a majority, but then there are preferneces ofcourse and i cant argue against what you think beqause its what you like, i myself like Skånska, Cockney for example, actually if you want to learn a language where there isnt much variation where the dialects arent that shockingly different from each other than russian is a good pick but still, the spoken language still simplify spoken speach and shorten words to make it more effecient like any other language, alot of european languages actually are more consistant from how their sounds matches their writing, so english is actually really confusing beqause of this.

no she sounds better

High EvulMe, Yes she really sounds like Queen Silvia when she speaks Swedish.

@@bjornsundberg1947 I'm not Swedish, but I've heard enough Swedish to detect an accent in Queen Silvia's Swedish.

So what? Sylvia learned Swedish comparatively late in life. During school years its way easier to learn

renni harlin

varför inte?

I hear no accent. Sounds like a Finland-Swedish dialect though.

@@syntaxerror8955 That's an accent

Syntax Error Yes?

English and swedish? i mean any similarity at all?

De tillhör den germanska språkstammen.

I am Finnish and I don't think it's hard , it's really simple compared to Finnish.

Swedish is kind of easy?

@@liina000 Definitely easier than Finnish for English speakers

I remember gina. At the school prom she was awarded the title. "Fuckgirl of the year"

@@christopherchristianvanlan1809 I'm shocked you remember anything Christopher with that empty head of yours

As an American, I have to say your friend is right. It took me 6 years to say my first word in Swedish. Then 4 more years to actually understand what people are actually saying. All together it took me 10 years to understand and speak this language. I also read a bit and write in Swedish. The Swedish language is hard.

She tapped out really quickly haha. (He broke the cardinal rule: You praise the actor for the ability without making him/her prove it.)

Sounds like perfect native Swedish dialect of east-Swedish (Finland-Swedish). No American accent.

Jimi was in Sandviken on September 8, 1967.

In the film, Ingrid Bergman exaggerates her Swedish accent very much. The role she plays required a strong Swedish accent. Irl Bergmans English was not perfect but ok. She never mastered the voiced s sound and also had problems separating v and w

It's not really.Finnish is a crazy difficult language. Swedish is like English and German combined to me. I lived there for 5 years and my Swedish was alright, but there everyone speaks English except old people.. I used to watch the text on TV to learn.

Mattias, vad vet du om det?

Det tog ungefär ett år för mig att lära mig svenska så jag tycker inte alls att det är ett svårt språk. :) (ok, uttalet är skitsvårt men man vänjer sig :-))

Alla dagar i veckan.

Finland-Swedish dialect is a native Swedish dialect, and not an "accent" (if that's what you meant). I heard perfect Swedish with no American accent.

Finlandssvensk dialekt.

@@beorlingo Tack. Äntligen någon som fattar skillnaden mellan dialekt och brytning.

Johnny ”Balle” Lundberg I don’t know, who?

beorlingo lol what

@@500spikar Damn right!

Mycket bra uttal!
