Now I'm learning in a video explaining swedish language, that I've done the answers for negative statements in my native language (German) wrong my entire life :D

@BarryNorton Жыл бұрын

I'm confused by something though: I learned German before Danish and the jo/contradicting side was no surprise as doch, I'd understood, fills this role in German. Am I being naive?

@wfiolsltiearm 4 жыл бұрын

Jo is a little confusing, but the rest of the video is something we do in the US. We'll answer questions like "Albert doesn't have a car" with "No", as in "I agree, no he doesn't have a car." But you could also respond to that question with "yea" as in "Yes, you are correct, he does not have a car." The same is true for the opposite as in "no, he does have a car" and "yes, he has a car." THEN you can throw "yea, no" and "no, yea" into the mix for the same effects. It seems really goofy writing it out but it makes more sense with inflection and body language.

Yeah, exactly, and you can't be that loose in Swedish.

@daysandwords 4 жыл бұрын

This is a very hard habit to break! I definitely say "Jo" a lot when using it as "well" or "sort of", like "Is it hot in Australia right now?" "Jo... lite så, ja." but I have not yet gotten the hang of it as "Du kan inte svenska, eller?" "Jo jo jo, det kan jag." In English, you can respond to negations however you like and it all depends on your intonation. "You're not going to the party." "No." (flat) = No I'm not. BUT ""You're not going to the party." "No no no, I'll just be late." - Obviously the context with "just be late" tells us more, but the way you say the No will be different too. I have a Finnish friend (who was the one who got me into speaking Swedish actually) and she couldn't understand Kiwis and Aussies who would say stuff like: "Yeah nah for sure." (it means yes. "Yes, I understand, no, the issue you are concerned about is not a problem, I can do that for you for sure.")

@sayitinswedish 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I'm aware, so that's why I added my little tangent about not all viewers being English speakers. In America they also say "yeah no" and stuff like that, so it's definitely an important topic.

@arctikal 4 жыл бұрын

Could be because we Finns use that exact same sentence in Finnish to say that something's really a no, like no not gonna happen in a million years.

@daysandwords 3 жыл бұрын

@@footyfan101ful "Yeah nah" means no, but "yeah nah for sure" means yes. You know this as I do. "Can you fix my car? It's European so it's hard to get parts for but I thought you might be able to." "Yeah, nah, for sure." = Yes, I understand that it could have been a problem, but no it's actually fine, I can fix it for sure. That's what I was saying. Just "Yeah nah" is not the same thing at all and not what I was talking about.

A video on standard statements and answers to questions would be useful - "jo, det har han", "nej, det gör han inte", "ja, det gör jag" - these help offer more information to the ja, jo, nej answers to questions, and Swedes use them all the time.

@LbritoGT 4 жыл бұрын

Kinda the same with brazilian portuguese, the difference is there is no strict rule about it and also there is not a specific word for denying the given statement. So most of the time we go the way you explained, but when for any reason we answer the wrong way (i.e. saying yes in response to a negative statement where we usually say no) we fix it on the next sentence. xD very good vid, thanx for your help!

Jo is an awesome concept. I would instinctively say "Har Albert en bil?" Does that 'en' make me sound dumb or obviously a non-native speaker?

Maybe asking “Har Albert en bil?” is asking if he has ONE car, as opposed to two cars, etc. Is that how a Swede would hear that question?

@@robertahlen4199 That would be "Har Albert _bara_ *en* bil?". The form "Har Albert en bil" may suggest a continuation like "att använda/låna ut", such as when someone wants to lend or use it, for instance.

We have something close in Russian answering questions like "Doesn't John have a car? ". If he does, we'll say: Нет, есть - No, he does. We haven't got a special word, though. And there is a form of a negative answer да нет - yes no - meaning "no, actually".

@nici5451 4 жыл бұрын

Lustig, ich (als Deutsche) antworte auch im Deutschen mit "nein", wenn ich einer verneinenden Aussage zustimme. Es kam mir nie missverständlich vor. Kommt vielleicht auch darauf an, wie man es sagt? Wenn ich dabei vehement den Kopf schüttele und sehr bestimmt "Nein!" sage, wird es vermutlich eher als Widerspruch erkannt. Ich sage aber eher zustimmend "Neeee...". 😀

@omalila7399 3 жыл бұрын

Ich (auch deutsch) seh das auch so. "Hat Albert denn kein Auto?" "Nee, das hat er verkauft." (Zustimmung) oder "Doch, er hat eins." (Widerspruch). Ist also genau im Deutschen genau so wie im Schwedischen.

I agree with the one who said you are a good teacher. You are. I am curious if you were at any time. I have been watching at least one or two of your videos every day. Sometimes many. I have been using Duolingo mostly to learn Swedish and have used many other apps and online courses. However I think you are great for learning the nuances of the language. I know lots of words and prob ably could have a very broken conversation mainly because I have a hard time forming proper sentences. My goal is to be fluent so I think I will become a patreon member and hope that you can drag me across the finish line. Tack sa mycket!
