How Many Languages do Swedes Speak?
Рет қаралды 195,128
Жыл бұрынHey everyone, in this video I ask swedish people how many languages they know and also a language they're interested in learning.

It's crazy how honest they are, a lot of people in some countries tend to say they speak multiple languages, but instead they barely speak it well, whereas in Sweden they openly say, they speak 2 fluently and the others not in a very dissent level

Bragging, especially if done in a brazen or open way, is a much worse sin in Sweden than in many other places. When I have visited the USA that is something that has been glaringly obvious.
@miro6164 5 ай бұрын
That is nice to read as it bothers me when people aren't more clear and honest. If I got the question I know I would have said 1 (Swedish) or maybe if being more exact 1.5 just because I am not used to speaking English and get very uncomfortable... I pretty much panic... there is no way I could ever claim to speak English fluently when my speaking skills are lacking. Comprehension and typing isn't enough...

But saying that it's something that everyone should know is just extremely unrealistic. Most people go their entire lives without ever having to interact with someone who can only speak in sign language. The closest most people ever come to sign language is seeing some random person sign once on the other side of the bus

swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Färöisch, Icelandic are North Germanic languages. Together with west Germanic languages (German, Dutch, Flemish, Luxemburgish. I'm not sure with Jüdisch) they build Germanic languages. I've lived in Denmark 20 years ago. Because so lang time ago I've forgotten almost all of Danish. I remember just 3 things about this language: 1) there is difference between "hans" and "sin" which both would be translated into English as "his" or German "sein" French "son" or Chinese (my mother tongue) "tade". At the beginning I couldn't distinguish these two words. After long time I finally understood the difference. 2) determinant is some times behind (not in front of) the noun, for example "huset", which would be translated into English as "house the" instead of "the house" ("et hus" would have another meaning). 3) the 3rd point is a little complicated so that I would write a very long comment in order to formulate it

In Denmark, we are still taught German beginning in around 6th grade. Most Danes speak a little bit. Some, like me, speak it at basic conversation level and there is probably a higher percentage of Danes that speak it fluently compared to Swedes because of Denmarks geographical location. Unfortunately a lot of Danish kids give up on German because the grammar is a nightmare. It also just feels a bit unnecessary since you can get by with English most places in Germany anyway, sadly.

I want to give a tip to the Swedish people, who are very practical, affectionate, smart, curious, affectionate and fun, the Swedes are honest, they love all the Neo-Latin languages, they don't know which one to start with or which one to end with, as there are many languages, even I get lost, I recommend learning occidental (Interlingue), novial, Interlingua, language Nova Franca because this is how they communicate with all Latin peoples using languages common among them all. Regarding Asian languages, it would be good for them to learn Wutun/Wutum, a language that mixes Tibetan, Chinese and a little Mongolian, I say this because Swedes love Chinese culture and language and Chinese and Tibetan culture together are the bases of other Asian cultures. Of the Austronesian languages, the best language for Swedes to love and enjoy is Indonesian and Malay, which are dialects of the same ancestral language and there are plenty of materials in English and Dutch. These 2 languages are sisters of Swedish, plus Dutch and Afrikaans, which have a very similar sound. to Swedish and you can study everything and the materials in English help the Swedes because English is the second language of the Swedes who today are one of the best English speakers in the world, even better than many native English speakers.

I think young Swedes between 13-34 yrs can speak English pretty good about 77% of them after this older people over+40 yrs can understand Norwegian bokmål and Danish about 64% of them.

Well even though Swedes likely understand them, they cannot speak or write in Danish and Norwegian. Sure as a Swede I could likely fake an accent that may fool non Scandinavians. But that's about it.

That's because it's a bit "cheating" since they are so similar to each other.

Most Scandinavians can read and understand eachother's languages but they are so close it is difficult to speak. My sister who is Swedish but lived and went to school in Norway for example never know if it's pensionär or pensionist in Swedish and Norwegian respectively.

@@tovep9573 yessss, so similar that it's difficult is a good way to put it. Finding the right words is difficult when you have to second guess if the translation really is that simple or you're forgetting something.

That's because they often don't speak each others languages. They speak their own to each other and hope for the best. And most Swedes don't understand much of what Danes are saying.

I'm guessing they didn't add subtitles cause the guy was sort of just thinking out loud until he got to his actual answer, but here's what he said: "Some other language? Hmm not really... I tried learning a bit of Spanish but that wasn't very fun, but some other language... Maybe French?"

1:45 Haha då kommer du ju inte från Irak. To ask a Swede what languages they speak when they say two (even when speaking Swedish) is funny. You're probably never gonna find some odd maybe old person who speaks another language that isn't English. Yay finally a guy said he would wanna learn Japanese. Chinese is nice too- I speak Japanese, but not very much and I really wanna learn American Sign Language and Old Norse.
