Jag har följt dig sporadiskt det senaste året så jag måste säga att din svenska är närmast oklanderlig. Det är bara på några få ställen som du krånglar till det lite granna.

@klara2a Жыл бұрын

Kul video!! 😍 Tips: När ni säger orden till varandra borde ni säga dem i grundform (infinitiv), alltså som de står i ordboken. Annars kan det bli roliga missförstånd som ”optimism mens” 😂 (Borde bli ett nytt ord). Hade Carro sagt ”optimism” hade Stefan säkert förstått direkt! ”OptimismENS” är ju bara bestämd form + ägandeform (possessive) av ”optimism”.

@annikajonsson9871 Жыл бұрын

@indraallian6371 Жыл бұрын

Jag fick en ide att ni kunde tävla i att översätta. Stefan läser en svensk mening för Caro som hon ska översätta korrekt till engelska. Caro läser en engelsk mening för Stefan som han ska översätta korrekt till svenska. Tre poäng för en perfekt översättning och en poäng för nästan perfekt.😎

I also truly appreciated hearing the difference between your Swedish and that of Caroline. I must compliment you on your grasp of the language as I can hear the difference from when you started to today. I'm still smiling at Maxim being a children's magazine.

Han har ett bra flyt och är fullt begriplig. Men han använder många ord som om det vore på engelska och missar en del i artiklar och ändelser. Tjocka amerikanska L- och R-ljud samt många felaktiga vokaler. Ingen tydlig distinktion mellan öppna och slutna vokaler. Även a-ljud där det skall vara e/ä gör det hela lite svårt att uppfatta ibland. Eller å-ljud där det skall vara a. Men man kan heller inte begära mer av någon som lär sig som vuxen. Relativt få utlänningar blir så särskilt mycket bättre, om de inte kom hit som barn eller unga.

Intressant att alla utom ett av de svåra engelska orden som valdes har latinskt ursprung. Men det är också normalt att de flesta svenskar bara känner till de vanligaste av orden i engelskan som kommer från franska och latin. En annan intressant sak är att ordet "nab" i engelskan kommer från svenskans "nappa" och importerades till de brittiska öarna av vikingarna.

@Bleckman666 Жыл бұрын

Jag skulle nog vilja hävda att "knipa" är en mer korrekt svensk motsvarighet till engelskans "nab" 'Verstappen knep 2 poäng från Hamilton.' Alternativt skulle man kunna använda "knycka". (Dock med den brasklappen att knycka är mer negativt, jämförbart med "palla" eller "norpa")

I think a better swedish word for "Nabbed" would be "Knep" (verb) And in case you are curious about why I put "verb" in there, it's because, in swedish "Knep" is also a noun. In that form, it means "trick".

4:31 Isn't it the same as nicked, in other words grabb or some such. It could be used as in a quick theft or as in picking something up quickly, say in a sport. At least that's my best guess... I *guess* it could also be caught, similar to how you can get nicked by the police? 5:16 Yep, I was pretty close there. :-) 5:41 Oh dear, the closest *sounding* word I can think of is "Forføre" in Norwegian, essentially meaning to seduce someone. Not necessarily sexually although that's the most common use. 6:07 Okay, I was definitely off there... 6:35 Yep, not even close... 7:12 I know exactly what it means and use it when speaking English, but damned if I can find a good Norwegian translation or describe it in few words. But it's kind of what we seek when we want things to be "koselig"... Being happy or if not outright happy at least content (accepting, kind of?) of the current situation/condition etc. Lagom, koselig etc is all kind of connected to that concept, but it's really, really hard to nail down exactly... 7:33 I guess you could say "fornøydhet" in Norwegian although it's really, really weird... 8:00 Yep, I understood it right, although I gave accepting slightly more weight then their definition. As in you being content with your station in life as opposed to say ambitious. I had no idea about *that* Swedish word either... I'm following their conversation in Swedish just fine though... 8:22 I *think* that translates to "merkelig" in Norwegian, so strange/mysterious? However I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong and this is closer to being thoughtful (in the full of thoughts meaning not in the more common considerate meaning). 8:40 Okay, so strange/funny rather than strange/mysterious... So not *totally of I think... 9:00 Okay, so I was definitely off. Not by so much that I'd be unable to communicate with a Swede, but I'd definitely lose out on nuance there... 10:37 Optimism, as in being positive and hopeful of the future, or rather having a natural tendency towards belief in a good outcome for the future. 11:58 Yep, I was right. Now, let's see... That word makes me think of being aware of and considerate of a detail and/or being considerate of a nuance or detail. 12:30 Okay, so closest Norwegian word would be to be "bevist" something. To know or be aware of something. I'm not sure I completely agree with that translation. There's more nuance in that English word then that Swedish (or for that matter Norwegian) word contains. I don't feel confident enough in that word to make use of it in my own vocabulary, although I understand it when I encounter it (common enough). But yeah, I don't feel like we'd be cognizant of all the nuances of "cognizant" if we just called it essentially a synonymse of "aware". 12:41 Okay, what the heck?!? I guess new custodian? 13:03 Not even close... Interesting that I'm struggling more with Swedish then English despite Swedish being closer to my native language... 13:00 Okay, I'm going to give "newly recruited" a try, but not holding my breath here... 13:36 Yeah, I was more or less right about that one I think. "Nyvervet" would be our word for it I *think*. I don't think that I'd give the one to you though... Honestly you're both cheating a little bit and being awfully kind to each other. Probably more then I'd accept rewarding. But hey, you two had fun. :-)

Något som jag märker att du behöver jobba mer på när du pratar svenska är ditt uttal av Å, Ä och Ö, till exempel när du sägerockså som "ocksa", är som "ar" och göra som "gora". Oavsett så är jag imponerad med hur långt du har kommit med din svenska och hur enkelt det är för mig som svensk att förstå din svenska!

@scotverdin9401 Жыл бұрын

How do I replicate the 'i' sound as she said it in Maxim? It seems to my American english ear to be a long E cut short and almost 'swallowed'. To my ear it's one of the sounds that's really part of sounding authentic as I try to learn more Swedish.

@davidekdal7190 Жыл бұрын

I thought about it for a while and wanted to give my best answer. After repeatedly saying the long E and the swedish I a few times, I noticed you need a wider/flatter tongue a bit pushed up to the roof of your mouth for the english E. For the swedish I, I notice I have to lower the back of my tongue, making more space at the back of the mouth. Try saying the english E forcing yourself to relax your tongue, not letting it push upward. With the E sound, my tongue seems to fit between the molars, while the I sound requires the tongue to touch the upper teeth closer to the front (aproximately on the third tooth counting from your middle front teeth. So basically, say E and then push the tongue forward. Hope this was helpful!

Underfundig is a word I've been looking for a suitable translation for, for years. The meaning of it is a something that is funny, like a joke, but not something you laugh straight out of. A subtle joke, you could say. Often having a double meaning, or could be interpreted in more than one way. It could be a touch of irony into it. An underfundigt nickname could be if you call a goalkeeper "Nollan" ="The Zero", also implies what we can say "noll koll" about (zero knowledge, zero understanding, zero intelligence, "zero control". This could be compliments to a good goalkeeper, or irony for a not so good one.) Or, also about a goalkeeper, or a carpenter, a wood worker; "Spiken". Pronounces like if spelled in English "Speaken", meaning "the Nail". When, especially in ice hockey, a goalkeeper stops every puck we can say, not to be misunderstood, he "boarded up behind him". In Swedish we use the verb 'spika' from the noun 'spik', meaning 'nail', to describe what he has done 'spikade' (nailed). (Spika can be, as in English "nailed it", made it spot on, OR when gaming on sport results, picking only one option for winner in a system.) The Finns are the GOATs of "underfundig" humor. In difference to me🫣🫣😓😂 they can use one word to express a full sentence, by choosing THE keyword, that not necessarily, or most likely, would be in that sentence. They deliver the listeners a key to figure out the rest, which becomes obvious, all by themselves. Joke, based on the assumption that Finns speak with few words, 'kippis' means 'cheers', love their sauna and vodka (nowadays the latter isn't 100% true) Pekka and Juha were going to have a sauna bath, and sitting in the heat, Pekka had a bottle of Koskenkorva. He poured two glasses as he asked: "So will we talk, or will we drink?" Juha replied: "Kippis"
