The hard part I have as a Brit living in Sweden is that no matter if I try to speak in Swedish, the response I get will be something like "oh, you're English!" and then start speaking English to me! I think that's why native-English speakers have a hard time learning the language - because Swedish people like to speak English (and apparently like my accent!!)

I'm a Brit living in Turkey and, even after being here 25 years and speaking more or less fluent Turkish, I get the same response. Sometimes it irritates me and I respond in a manner I know they probably won't understand.... like Cockney English..... 🤣

I will be going to a few places in Sweden soon & have been casually practising for ~2years (watching youtube like this, SVT, music, the owl app) I'm really hoping they let me practice my Swedish åtminstone lite & don't just revert to English varje gång. I think the highest chances I have of having 100% Swedish interactions will be in ordering food. Where I live in Melbourne, Aus, there is a Swedish cafe & I've had a few times there where we've chatted only svenska. Tack för den här videon!

I was travelling in Sweden last fall, and when ordering at cafes I sometimes ran into a phrase I didn't know and had to switch to English. I'm pretty sure it was "var det bra så?" and/or "något mer"! Very colloquial and phrases you just have to know. Det är användbart till nästa gång, tusen tack till dig!

I'm learning swedish and I also speak italian. The point about snälla du also happens in Italian because they don't say "per favore" (please) after a request, as it can sound like they are either begging or being sarcastic/passive aggressive. So they just say "grazie" (thank you) after a request. And this was very confusing to me at first because my native language is Spanish from Mexico and then I learned English and in both languages we say, please and it's actually frowned upon when people don't use it in some contexts. It is often expected and considered well mannered behavior. Anyway, glad to learn about this and to have found an analogy with Italian 🎉😊 thank you for the lesson

Duolingo teaches "Tack snälla" as a way to say "Thank you very very much". I don't know if I explained well, what I meant to say is that "Tack snälla" is putted as a way to say "thank you" stronger than "thank you very much". This is correct?

@FunSwedish 3 жыл бұрын

That is correct but situational 😁. It requires the right context. I wouldn't go around saying "Tack snälla" when ordering at a fika place or restaurant for example. "Jag vill ha en kanelbulle, tack snälla" doesn't really work. If you however forget your phone at the counter, and the employee brings it to your table, then you could say "Tack snälla" .

I don’t know if it sounded wrong but she kinda held a laugh and repeated what I said “bara det?” 😂 I think I said to her “bära det tack” maybe

@SqueamishNerd Жыл бұрын

Sometimes they'll ask "Äta här eller ta med?" (literally "Eat here or take with?") then you can just answer with "ta med" if you want it as a takeaway. If they don't ask you can add "att ta med" after the order, but always put the "tack" in the end. Example "En kaffe att ta med, tack." (literally "A coffee to take with, thanks.") means that you want a takeaway coffee.

I live in Texas and have been trying to learn Swedish (for fun) for a few years. My problem is when I want to phrase a sentence, I tend to want to phrase it in English which is completely wrong. It's hard for me to not do this because it's faster to think in English word order than how a swede would say it.

Good question! I works gramatically but sounds a bit rude if you say it when you order for the first time. It sounds like "I SHALL have a kaffe, please". But it could work in some situations. If they ask you "tell me again, did you want coffee or tea?". Then you could use it to make it clear that you wanted coffee but otherwise I would not use it when I order. We prefer "Jag tar en kaffe, tack" / "Jag kan ta en kaffe, tack" / "Jag skulle vilja ha en kaffe, tack" or just "en kaffe, tack".

En kaffe is used for cups of coffee, while ett kaffe is used for types of coffee. Example: You’re looking at a brown powder and asks someone “Vad är det?” (“What’s that?”), then they might answer “Det är ett kaffe” (“It’s a (type of) coffee”) if it’s coffee powder. The same goes for tea, beer, wine and probably other drinks that I can’t remember right now (it doesn’t work for mjölk, juice and saft though). “En öl, tack” (“A (glass of) beer, please”) “En te, tack” (“A (cup of) tea, please”) “En vin, tack” (A (glass of) wine, please “ “Vad är det där?” (“What’s that?”) “Det är ett öl/te/vin” (“It’s a (type of) beer/tea/wine”) Observe that if you want to say the whole phrase “A glass of beer/wine, please” you will say “Ett glas öl/vin, tack”, not “en”.
