As someone who is trying to learn Swedish, I am not at all OK with the dropping of the "h" on "har". Please ask your people to kindly stop doing that. 😂

I would probably say "ha" instead of "har". Ja de ha ja (Ja det har jag). I think dropping the "h" is more common among younger people

Absolutely in (American) English pretty much works the same way. We pronounce the S as an S. (ab-so-lute-lee)... but it gets reduced to a P sound and the O becomes more like a U. (app-suh-lute-lee). As an American, we get told we speak "lazy English," so I'm glad to see there is lazy Swedish, too, LOL!

Det mest fascinerande med detta är att man/jag som svensk ofta korrigerar talad svenska till skriftlig svenska i mitt eget huvud. Jag kunde svära på att jag och andra svenskar talar mer skriftligt än vad som faktiskt visas i denna video, men när man faktiskt reflekterar över talad svenska så inser man att den skiljer sig mer signifikant än vad man trott från skriven svenska. Det är verkligen som om hjärnan aktivt och automatiskt korrigerar de ljud som objektivt existerar

I think last year I would have been confused and overwhelmed by all this, but now that I have many hours watching SVT, listening to ljudböcker på svenska, och pratar med Svensk vänner, I have picked up on almost all of these patterns of reductions and already emulate many of them in my own speech. It really is true that the best way to become fluent is to just immerse yourself in the language and you will naturally pick up the accents and the dialects of the natives.

This is great. Fun language. However, maybe Swedish and English need a modern orthographic "reset" where all the universally unpronounced letters just get dropped, and spelling gets more phonetic, so people trying to learn the language don't go nuts. The English and some northern Americans are non rhotic (they drop their rs). But in Shakespeare's day they hit all the rs hard, sounding like pirates.

@sayitinswedish 3 жыл бұрын

Yes! I saw this video that explained the American accent and it was because back in the days people spoke more like pirates and Irish/Scottish like generally.

@HorusNikopol 3 жыл бұрын

So if the imperfect drops the -de, and the perfect drops the -t, and the perfect also often drops the auxiliary "har" in subordinate clauses - I guess "Jag studerade" without the -de, "Jag har studerat" without -t (and the har assimilated to the jag or just disappearing entirely in a subordinate clause), and the present "Jag studerar", if one does not articulate the R significantly - all sound virtually identical??? That is terrifyingly confusing. But great video as always!

@sayitinswedish 3 жыл бұрын

Terrifying, however the context will be very clear on which is meant. Or else it wouldn't work.

@xolang 9 ай бұрын

Actually in quite a few major languages the verbs don't change based on tenses. My father tongue, spoken by over 300 mio. people, is like that. and then you have Chinese which is spoken by over a billion people. Usually the context is enough. So we say something like: Yesterday I study. I study three hour ago (notice as well how we don't say "hourS" since three is obviously already plural, thus making an -s redundant.). I already study (which would mean like "I have studied"). To a question like "What exactly do we do three week ago?", you can easily answer: We meet, you pick I up at my place, and then we drive together, we go hiking, etc. Because we know it take place three week ago.

I have a question about Swedish verbs. Is ta/dra/trä/va short for taga/draga/träda/vara? The dictionary lists ta/dra/trä as the infinitive, but also lists taga/draga/träda as one of the inflections. But what is taga? Another form of the infinitive? Is va short for vara? According to the dictionary, va is short for vad, not vara. But va seems also to be short for vara...

@sayitinswedish 2 жыл бұрын

You are right, generally the long forms are older and less used. "Va" however is only a spoken version of "vara" and isn't used in writing.

@RodionPopov-lp5bk 3 жыл бұрын

Just to make sure: you said that "att" is reduced to "å" only as an infinitive marker. So is it correct that you never reduce "att" in the meaning of "that"? So in "Jag vet att du mår bättre" att is always pronounced as "att", not "å"? But as the infinitive marker, can it be reduced when followed/preceded by vowels and especially in an intervocal position? Something like "det var brA_Att träffas" or "det var brA_ATT_Åka dit" (if my phrases are correct:). Will it be "bra å träffas" and "bra å åka" or in these cases you still preserve the"t" sound? And äntligen :) how do you usually spell these och/att reductions in a written form imitating the oral pronunciation, like chat messages etc? "Jag och du" will be "Ja å du" or "Ja o du"?

You are correct. Written speech has no rules so you can do whatever!

Enligt Henke Rosenkvist är "å" i t.ex. jag gillar å spela fotboll ett eget ord separat från "och" och "att". Jag kommer inte ihåg dock om han ansåg att använda "att" där istället är importerat från den skrivna svenskan som ganska mycket annat i modern svenska eller ifall båda har använts sedan långt tillbaka. Han pratade om det i ett avsnitt av "språket" för 1-2 år sedan.

@sayitinswedish 2 жыл бұрын

De andra nordiska språken uttalar också i alla fall "och" som "å" så det är ju näraliggande att anta att det bara är k/g - ljuden som försvunnit här. Vad gäller om "å" är ett eget ord här vet jag inte men viktigt här är bara för en språkinlärare att förstå att det är olika ord som låter likadant oavsett ursprung. Jag har förövrigt lyssnat på säkert över hälften av avsnitten den här veckan men något sådant har jag inte hört än.
