Swedish pronunciation - Long and short Ö - Learn Swedish in a Fun Way!

Finally! This is our last vowel video! Now the series is complete.
In this video we will do a quick run through the pronunciation of the Swedish Ö. The viking vowel!
Because when learning Swedish, one of the most important things is to learn Swedish pronunciation.
Somehow, SFI rarely focusses on pronunciation. Which we think is THE most important thing to be able to communicate in Swedish.
Mostly because Swedes are not very good at understanding "broken" Swedish. Master the vowels and you will speak Swedish like a Swede.

Hey, the 5 second clip where you said rösta and rosta was a helpful part, the back to back repeating of it in roughly 5 seconds is good because you can just hit the left arrow key and say it along like a loop.

"Öl" is also a word i German, where it means oil. So we are not the only ones to have this sound. And the short version as in French like in "deux"

@herrbonk3635 2 жыл бұрын

And, appart from being long or short, the letter ö actually represents two sounds in Swedish. It can be open (as in öra, smör) or closed (as in öga, födelse). Just like with the ä/e-sounds, it depend on whether the vowel is followed by an R or not (hence the difference between the open lära, ära and the closed träd, läsa, for instance).

Keinesfalls! Ö in German sounds completely different. You got to purse your lips to the max to get the real and long Ö sound. It sounds much softer than in Swedish.. at least in most cases! Österreich. Öl. Hören.

Can someone translate “hor” please? Google has “hora”?

@Wigant-wc7to Ай бұрын

A long time ago ”Hor” was when people not married to each other had a sexual relation. ”Enkelt hor” was when only one of the persons involved was married. ”Dubbelt hor” was when both persons were married to someone else. If both persons were unmarried it was called ”skörlevnad”.

It can be somewhat frustrating when people ask me to spell my son's name and they look at me like im an insane person when I get to the letter "ö" because it doesn't exist in english. Then they get even more confused when they learn it's not the letter "O" , nor is it pronounced like an "O". Then I get the people who think they know what "ö" is because they've seen german umlauts of something and don't realize it's not an O with an umlaut on top. I hope some day the swedish alphabet becomes common knowledge, because its really not that many extra letters to learn, but at the same time I do understand why it's not there yet. I guess I'm just frustrated that people dont try harder to get peoples names right. I'm lucky if my kids name is pronounced with the proper number of syllables, let alone proper pronunciation lol.

This is really a bad presentation of the Swedish vowel "Ö" - the teacher makes it sound similar to something you'd most likely hear from a cow. I cannot understand the point of explaining the pronounciation in that way - furthermore, she is actually pronouncing it in a way most common in the Southern parts of the country - back in the throat instead of pouting your lips (almost similar to when you intend to whistle).

@eliasnjetski1146 Жыл бұрын

No it isn't! It is a great pronunciation! It is the proper pronunciation of the letter "Ö". Du har så fel. Hon har så rätt.
