Hello it’s Sofia from Sweden! 🇸🇪🥰 thank you for watching! This was both fun to record and to watching it back myself. EPEX and all out friends form different countries did so well, Swedish is a hard language but they all did their best and in the end Hanna and I managed to guess the right answers! 🙌🎉 congratulations to EPEX new album release~ 🎉

The "sj"-sound and our sound for the letter "U" is unique to Sweden and Norway. We have the word "sju" which means "seven". Basically no foreigner can pronounce that word unless they have lived here for a while.

@moondaughter1004 Ай бұрын

@iku6588 Ай бұрын

Arabic foreigners can pronounce the word sju because they also have this word as a letter

@juliaa5610 Ай бұрын

@@iku6588No the arabic sound is much harsher, so it's not the same as the swedish.

@swestuff Ай бұрын

At least in Swedish the "sj"-sound isn't a connected to a single letter combination like "sj". The sound came to the Swedish language externally I believe and instead of creating a letter for it, it now depends on the letter combination or the word itself. Here are some common combination used: sk: skylt(sign) sj: sju(seven) skj: skjorta(shirt) stj: stjäla(steal) sch: schema(schedule) ch: chaufför(driver) g: geni(genius) si/ssi: explosion(explosion) ti: lektion(lesson) So that sound is something you have to learn and is not something you can find just by reading a text. One of the harder parts of the Swedish language!

Especially, if a Swedish-speaking Finn (that is, a native Swedish speaker from Finland 🇫🇮) had said that "sjuttiosju sjönsjungande sjuksköteskor" because it sounds so different in Finland Swedish. 🙃

The "Får får får, Får får inte får, får får lamm". (Although the usual saying also includes a "Far" & "Nej". Far, Får får får? Nej Får får inte får, Får får lamm. It translates to: Father, do sheep have sheep? no, Sheep doesn't get sheep, sheep gets lambs. Far = Father. Får = Sheep. Får = Get / Gets / Receive. Nej = No. Lamm = Lamb. Another funny word with multiple meanings in Swedish would be "Gift" Gift = Married. But also means: Gift = Poison / Venom English has some interesting dual meaning words too, it's called "Homonyms". Example: BAT (one you swing or the flying mouse kind?).

Swedish has many dialects. I a video from "Petter - pissar på dig" you can hear three dialects. Otherwise more melodical "Perikles - var ska vi sova i natt" if you want to hear southern swedish/scanian.

The "four four four". To them it all sounded exactly the same, to us, they all have a different pitch.

@@loris-bismar I didn't know this earlier about Swedish. So maybe it is also easier for You, unlike for other Europeans, to learn the pronounciation in such tonal languages as for instance Mandarin, that also has different tones.

@loris-bismar Ай бұрын

@@MayaTheDecemberGirl it said so when I googled in the beginning of this conversation, but I'm not convinced. Can't agree on it until I've tried 😄. Me personally though, have always had an ease to find the flow or rhythm in any language I hear (which I've always called the melody btw), but I've always thought it was because I'm musical, not because I'm Swedish. Then again, music is Sweden's second largest export so it might just be something here.

I feel so alone in English. I have been watching videos where people will speak Latin to Italians, French in Portugal, hell even Old English to Germans. Most people understand the basics of what someone is trying to say. Like giving directions or asking what they prefer EG. "do you like apples or oranges" As a person who only speaks English, I have no clue what other languages are trying to say to me (not counting Spanish just because I hear it a lot). Maybe I can get a few words here and there like some German words, but never full sentences like other languages can with each other. I know the romances languages are all connected through Latin so it makes it easier, but damn what happened with English lol.

Also, I don't think you're as bad as you think. Go watch Richard Osmans house of games, and find the segment of the show (I think it's once a week) called House der spiele or something similar. You'll see that you understand more than you think. 😊

The tongue twisters could be done humming and you would be able to guess the words as a Swede because you learn these as kids. These are basic ones that everyone know meanwhile it would be more difficult with random sentences but it was fun for the non Swedes to try them. There is another version the sentence with sju sound. "Sju sjösjuka sjömän på det sjunkande skäppet Shanghai" which basically translates to "seven seasick seamen on the sinking ship Shanghai".
