"I thought it would look better" *closes notebook* lolll Me every time I try to draw something

It was Swedish because the only thing left to read was an Ikea catalog :(

I JUST saw this episode. And as a Swede, I was shocked to hear my own language. And outrageously happy for some reason. SO COOL!

To all the Swedes that are fascinated with hearing their language when she talked, that’s how I feel every time Lady says something

I just absolutely love that whenever this show has characters we're not supposed to understand, they don't have them speak gibberish, they have them speak a real language and prompt the viewing audience to learn enough about the language to find out what the character said. There's no real logical reason why Lady Rainicorn speaks Korean, but it's a brilliant choice all the same. Such a subtle interesting way to introduce a little bit of real world diversity to the cartoon.

In the swedish version the lady speaks finnish! (I am Swedish myself)

when i first heard this i was blown away thinking the audio messed up i am swedish so i understood everything

When Alva looks disappointed at the drawing Finn made, maybe it wasn't because of his drawing skills. Rather the fact that she asked him to draw her, and it looked bad, (and she probably thought Finn drew the Jake picture) Making her think her appearance was bad. Or maybe I'm wrong. Oh well.

I like the use of "my country", it such a human way of thinking of a landmass, unlike how Finn and the others just think of Ooo as this big shared place with little kingdoms.

Yay! I've been waiting for this for so long :D Love the video! Also! The toy store that Frida works at says "Leksaker" which is Swedish for Toys! :D

Also on the last island where Finn finds his mum, the shop signs are written in Swedish. So maybe the last humans "evolved" from Swedes? After all, it's a multicultural country nowadays so names like Kim or Kulap are not that uncommon. Also it would make sense for them to speak both Swedish (as some kind of traditional language) and English since almost every Swede speaks (pretty well) English.

the swedish word for dog kinda sounds like hound

Well if PB knows German makes sense other languages would survive.

Alva's disappointed face + sigh in regards to Finn's drawing skills was the best thing ever lol 😆

Am I the only one who did not realise that Alva was a human until Finn said it?

It actually makes me happy that Swedish is used in shows (me myself I'm also Swedish and friends with Swedi Candy)

The Swedish translation was on point! I'm Swedish by the way

Yoo I rewatched some old episodes of AT and I notice the show really drilling the concept of the creation of life and the repercussions and gravity that comes with that; with the life giving magi and P Bubs, i think you'd be on point with an analysis on that bizz lol

thank you and swedi candy so much for this video! sure does add a lot of layers and insight on that episode, and on alva herself, who was one of my favorite characters in the islands miniseries. also very cute knowing that the word at the end of the film can also be used for "butt", which as you said, is so on par with adventure time humor haha :)

I wonder what language she speaks in the Swedish dub

Damn wish I still watched AT, this ep would've caught me off guard because I'm swedish.

When I first watched this episode I thought it said "Anden" in the end, witch is Swedish for Duck. It took a while for me to understand that it said "Änden". But it's a really weird word to put at the end of a film and would never be used in Swedish movies. Ändan is Swedish for but. But it's more like old Swedish. Like if you would say "the behind" instead of but. The more common name for it is "rumpa"

Swedish and Adventure Time are two of my favorite things, so when Alva was introduced I was overjoyed. Also, Uncivilized Elk, I love your videos, you have very interesting perspectives on Adventure Time and Steven Universe and I really enjoy viewing them.

The translations are fine, just off at one point. "En hund" is "a dog", not "the dog" "Hunden" however, means "the dog" But if you only say "Hund" it means "Dog"

I like how you highlight how this is a Swedish speaking character written for an American English speaking primary audience. (which helps explain some word choices) Nice to know she is a more in-depth Swedish character in an American show than the Swedish Chief 😊.

So Ooo is actually post-apocalyptic Sweden...

Swedish meatballs are delicious.

Whaaat!! You have a Patreon account now!? I'll have to go support!

Man, what is up with me. I haven't seen AT in MONTHS... All these characters... Stories... 😔 But love the video all the same dude, keep it up! 👍😄

Being swedish and watching this was so hilarious, especially when I watched it with some friends and they kept calling it japanese

As a giant fan of this show I am extremely happy to have found this video. I've watched Adventure Time over & over because not only do I just love cartoons like this but I started watching it again after I had my son. I hope one day he'll be able to watch it again as teen/adult like me & truly appreciate it like I do & if he's anything like me (thankfully it's looking like he is more & more as time passes) he definitely will ^.^ Thanks for making this available Uncivilized Elk!

it's sad for me to think that Alva's dead after a thousand years, when Adventure Time ended

It "sounds so similar to English" because, contrary to what most Americans believe, English is derived from German, like Swiss and Dutch et al. (English is NOT a Romance Language. It's German that's trying to play by Romance Language rules.)

I thought 'enhund!' Meant like 'No, I told you already!' "have you seen jake?" *shakes head* "He looks like this" "enhund!"

Lol I'm so swedish so its quite fun to see swedish characters in AT xD and änden can mean for example "änden på repet" wich means "end of the rope" but it also means butt!

im norwegian so i understood a lot of what she said. i was actuly suprised to see someone in Adventure time speak swedish, but it was very cool. also i really liked this video

Its been hundreds of years sense the bombs fell right? so obviously land masses change over time. So all Im getting from this mini episode is that they are on Sweden, and are traveling to either the north pole or iceland

I believe Alva may have been the last generation of a Swedish society that survived after the dropping of the giant bomb. Something led her and a group of others to leave the mainland in search of new land. Their different culturally identifiable names may indicate that they are not all from the same society. There must have been something that made members of distinctly different societies that had survived , and likely separated ones as well, band together and migrate so far. Alva having a damage report also may hint that there was someone that she and the others answered to and were trying to relay information to. She may at one point planed on sending video recordings of their journey to the mainland. Perhaps there was at one time some type of government or exploratory institution that had banded them together for exploration. Let me know what you think.

as a danish person this episode was so fun to watch! danish and swedish sound almost the same (with some words being entirely different though) so i could understand a lot but not all of it, so seeing the subtitles gave me that last bit!

"det var då en märklig en" can be used for strange situations as well. finn is tied up when he meets her and thats probably what she is refering to with that line. didnt think i would hear swedish in an american cartoon.

in the Swedish translation. Alva is speaking finish!

I liked to imagine that all the settlers would speak their native languages (to help preserve their cultures but picked up other languages from others so that they could still understand each otherI got this idea from how alva seems to understand what finn and jake say even though she does not speak English her selfor it could be that alva was just beginning to learn to speak english when the island became over taken by nature and just decided to stop trying to learn it because their was no one to talk to anyway

quality video as usual!! You're the best youtuber when it comes to cartoon stuff

I think the meaning of "edge" can be probably applied to a larger scale of Adventure Time ending. The edge, also known as the end of the island for Adventure Time, is near for Adventure Time, as the last season has already been recorded (according to John Di Maggio's tweet, "And then there were none"), and the Adventure Time crew knew that AT is ending in 2018; which will be here before we know it.

Did you make a similar video about lady Rainicorn's Korean quotes translated? And if so, can you link it?

Elk: property..... I don't care about that one. Me: well that's a pretty commie thing to say

People probably won't see this cus this video was uploaded 2017 but I met Hannah K who works as a storyboard artist at adventure time and as we know she did the marceline and PB scene. We talked about the Swedish in the episode and it wasnt supposed to be swedish i think they had a couple of languages to choose from but then ended up with Swedish since they knew that Hannah could find someone to do the voice acting! If I remember it correctly I think it might have been Hannah's grandma or her friends grandma who did the voice acting :^)

For me who live in sweden, its kinda fun to hear somone "Translate" this person :)

So this is destroyed Scandinavia ?

I am from sweden, I have not seen the swedish dub of this episode, so I have no idea what thay changed her language too. dos anyone out there know? Also to regard to "the end" be glad she never sad the swedish for cubby-hole, it is written fack but is pronounced Fuck. I am not kidding.

Hey there, love all the videos on adventure time, I have to say that I have a hard time wraping my head around how you can so completely understand an episode its nuts to me. I had a request if you dont mind, I have an intrest in themes of duality and the episode: "The Mountain" seemed to be about duality, I'd love to see a review if it's not to much trouble as sometimes I have difficulties deciphering the meaning behind adventure time and clearly your much better at it.

Thank you so much for making this video, man.

"Slut film" 😂😂😂😂😂 i can't stop laughing after reading that.

Nice video. It's been awhilesince your last AT video.

I think that there was an initial island group, two bread Tom and company, and eventually, a few other groups found the island too. With mo Co also finding them

I think Alva's group was Founders Island's actual attempt at expanding beyond the island, because in Hide And Seek, Dr. Gross mentions that they tried expanding beyond the island, but they all died. It's possible this wasn't just a lie to keep Susan's thoughts in check, but also true to their knowledge. I'd guess after everyone else on the team died either they just left her there to leave the project to history, or they genuinely thought she was dead too. Then they just decided to use it as another reason not to leave the island. There was also the other island with all the VR players, but one could call that a failed attempt at civilization too. There was one VR guy on Founders Island, but there he is the exception, not the rule.

About this. I could actually understand alot of this even without knowing Swedish. I speak German. And the two languages are very close

En hund = a hound.

Wow this was 2 years ago? I just finished the show today by binge watching it after not watching it for 7 years btw I cried at the end

New miniseries announced straight off the heels of Islands airing this month *the entire AT fandom looks to UncivilizedElk*

this is almost german, you would know what I mean when you knew german

"This colonization attempt was a butt" lol

I felt of tinge of sadness when I saw her reaction to Finn's drawing of her, even though it didn't seem to bother her that much.

5:06 this reminds me of how I first reacted to reading some of the pictures of the Moomins comics (i got interested in Moomins this year) and getting really confused when I saw pictures of the characters holding a sign that said “slut” until I read the comments saying it meant “end”, so as I watched this video, I was wondering how Adventure Time would dodge the confusion

She Spoke Swedish? I thought she speaks Dutch... Lol... I'm quarter Dutch though, I still learning Dutch btw

Hur många här är svensk 🙋 How many here are swedish 🙋

I really loved them having Alva in the episode cos I'm Swedsih so I could understand everything and that was really cool. But I remember thinking about those who don't undrstand what she says, it's not that hard to understand what she said, given the context that we got. But the translations were on point and yeah, good video👍

I've been learning Swedish for the past 1 1/2 years and those scenes were the only times my duolingo lessons were really worth it.

Gilla kommentaren om du kan prata svenska!☺

Hej, någon annan svensk?

We only got to see Alva for a short amount of time, but she's one of my favorite characters by far.

I really enjoyed AT's use of foreign language. Like in this instance, as well as Lady Rainicorn speaking Korean. The little mispronunciation of French words here and there did tick me off from to time, but it didn't take away from the awesome experience

The settlers being swedish makes a lot of sense considering Fin has blond hair.

great short man! keep it ip!!

This episode was so funny to me since I'm a native Swedish speaker

4:41 translation: damage report. Movie number one

Now I'm going to watch Islands all over again

Thanks Uncivilized Elf and Swedi Candy

I'm Dutch myself and Swedish has quite a lot of similar words, so it was fun I could understand some of it without translations!

I'm finnish and so had to take swedish lessons in school - now, it's been a long time and it really didn't stick, but i was so proud of myself when i caught "that is not food" and some other words while watching this episode😂

I'm so happy this video was made, up until this point I thought the creators actually made a language and used it here 😅

i think all islands do know swedish to some degree even now. Because Frieda toy store have signs that was in swedish. So either swedish was there native langue but later switch to english when more people moved to the islands, or they all have swedish or english like a second langues. My theory are that they did speak swedish there first but the humans Marceline saved in Stakes did managed to come to the islands and with the years everyone did move over to english rater then swedish (i dont know why they did it) but most peoples do still now swedish

Wonder if Hierophant has any connections to the booted animals. I remember him wearing boots also.

Oh I just realized you could guess she met by the word for dpg sounding like a slightly different pronunciation of hound

Bro you’re vids are awesome!!!!!

I noticed Finn drew Kilroy was Here on the same page as his attempt at drawing Alba. This is the second time I've seen Kilroy in the show, the first time being in the Peppermint Butler episode of Distant Lands. I wonder if this is a common thing in the show.

As norwegian, I understand swedish. So in the norwegian version, she talks a completely different language that I don't understand. So the video still was helpful and fun!

Whoa whoa I missed alot of adventure time episodes Good thing we have KZfaq

i never realized how similar swedish and german were until this episode

I watched this eps high. and IDK I somehow I knew what she was saying and so far here. I've gotta a good amount of it right

I for one would love to see a documentary on cool sci-fi magiteck weather machine islands by Slut Films.

I literally had no clue while watching this that she was speaking Swedish the first time but then I started learning Swedish then happened to watch the episode again and starting understanding some things she said and then did a lil research lol I live under a rock

I’m not swedish but I studied it for a year so I understood most of what Alva said in the episode

I speak Norwegian which is very similar to Swedish and some of her dialogue came very easy to me.

did this get in my recommended just because i’m swedish, and that i was talking abt adventure time with my dad earlier today? ofc it did but i’m glad it did

Awesome. Always wondered what she was actually saying

It is pretty fun to hear the thinhs Alva says, i can understand them a little but even though i am not Swedish. Dutch and Swedish share much simularities so for me (as a Dutchie) it is fun to hear

At first I thought she was speaking bad German because in German dog is also called hund.

Im learning norwegeian and its a very very very similar language to swedish so I was able to understand most of her dialog luckily

Did anyone else notice the Kilroy drawing on the corner of Finn's drawing of Alva? How would Finn know of that kind of meme? It came from WWII...
