Awww 😍😍. I am so happy to hear that!

Finnish people often go to Stockholm and every time I went I've been having a panic attack hoping that no-one talks to me 'cause I can't understand. 😱 Let's see if this will change.

You can do it! 💪

Me too I really loved my stay in Sweden

Happy to help! 😊 We also have some video courses for a bit more structured (yet fun) learning here: elansutbildning.teachable.com/

Well... then I guess you learned that lesson by yourself, the hard way 😅.

Tack

Wow, thanks! 😊

Oh wow! 😅 I am curious to know how that story ended 😁

@@FunSwedish with a terrible taste in my mouth ahahahahahhahahahah

That's great!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you for your sweet message 😃 I am glad you feel that way!

Happy to hear you find it useful! We did a video about going to the restaurant now as well. So next time you can use that too!

That is a great story! You will remember that for sure! 😂

You're welcome

Glad you liked it! 😻 Vi ses på ICA! 😁

Working on it! If you are really hungry for more you can always try our Video courses. elansutbildning.teachable.com/p/swedish-for-complete-beginners It is not exaclty the same format but almost all videos here are inspired from our lessons.

Thank YOU for the sweet comment! 😍

¡Muchas gracias Nahuel! Y mucha suerte en Gotemburgo :D

Thank you! 😃😍

Glad you think so!

Glad it was helpful! A new version of this is coming soon :)

😊

Oh! Interesting! Do you like it?

I know, it is easy to miss that. I am glad you find it useful :)

Vad roligt! Kul att höra att du tycker om våra videos :) Ha det jättebra i Sverige!

Thanks :)

Wow, thank you! I am glad to hear that you like them :) I know. The i-sound can be very tricky. We have actually done one video about it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7lpq9Oiz9W8nXk.html&ab_channel=FunSwedish

Well... you don't really have to "ask" for a bag. At least not at the grocery store. Ideally, once you are at the register, behind the band, there is a bunch of bags. Small, big and huge. You just grab one bag put it in the band, with the other products you bought. They will charge you for the bags (which are not cheap). So you dont really need any kind of human interaction in there xD

Interesting idea! We can for sure do a video about that!

Thank you! Yes, we do teach classes. It used to be live on person but now we are doing almost all of them via Zoom! :) You can find out more here if you want to join: elansutbildning.com/swedish/swedish-for-beginners-2/

@@FunSwedish please let me know when you’ll be starting semester 1 again, as I’m a complete beginner

@@bryanharris4473 Hej Bryan! Are you still interested in learning Swedish? Our 100 % beginner course starts soon elansutbildning.com/swedish/swedish-for-beginners/

Great idea!

A shame that you didnt see this video before your Filmjölk incident 😂. Could have saved you from a near death experience

Can't say we tasted the Icelandic "súrmjólk". So can't really answer this one 😅. It does sound like it would be roughly the same. It being "sour milk". At least is makes more sense that "butter milk". That one is probably not the same 🤔. Though I can't really tell 😅

😅

Great point! But as long as you are not getting filmjölk... it is only slightly dissapointing rather than catastrphic 😊

In the Netherlands we have very lightblue (magere melk 0,5%), lichtblue (halfvolle melk 1,5%) and darkblue (volle melk 3,5%). The red one is the buttermilk and green is yoghurt.

@@marjoleinw4100 interesting, isn't it confusing just having different shades of blue? I guess you'd get used to it 😊

@@annar6294 not when you are used to it... 😉

Tack så mycket! Nej, aldrig (eller jo, bara på flygplatsen i Sao Paulo en gång) men jag vill jättegärna åka dit en dag!

São Paulo är den största staden i landet med 21 miljoner invånare. Jag kommer från Rio de Janeiro, som är den andra staden i Brasilien. Du kan inte föreställa dig hur mycket jag tycker om ditt land, men jag vet att besök är väldigt annorlunda från att bo där!

There is usually a laktosfri variant on almost anything (if the supermarket is big enough)

It looks like buttermilk is "Kärnmjölk" in Swedish. I think filmjölk is a bit thicker than buttermilk. But I can't say I have a lot of experience with butter milk. So it might be somewhat similar :D

@@FunSwedish Lol, most people don't want *any* experience with buttermilk :).

Is filmjölk something like kefir?

Well, we can fix that 😊. We have Video courses you can take, like this one: elansutbildning.teachable.com/p/swedish-for-complete-beginners And we are even starting some Live Zoom courses at the end of August: elansutbildning.com/courses/

😅

Also 5:08

Sorry there, that's the latin part of me pointing to my eye to signal "watch out!" 😅 Not really a Swedish thing.

@@FunSwedish Thank you for the reply. Very interesting. :-)

Oh, and if you want to do a video correcting 'bad Swedish' in comments, feel free to use mine ;)

That was pretty good Swedish. I understood everything, which is what matters, isnt it? :D Back to the question... you don't really have to "ask" for a påse (bag). At least not at the grocery store. Ideally, once you are at the register, behind the band, there is a bunch of bags. Small, big and huge. You just grab one bag put it in the band, with the other products you bought. They will charge you for the bags (which are not cheap). So you dont really need any kind of human interaction in there xD

You should not have any problem getting the kvitto in the supermarket or any other stores. If thet don't give it to you then you can always say "Skulle jag kunna få kvittot, tack?" :)

The recipt from the cash register will typically have info like date/time, total amount, gross/net/VAT, payment method and if cash,amount received and change returned. Also the company's organisationsnummer (corporate ID, much like a persons 'personnummer. ) I don't see how they'd get YOUR company's ID on there without adding it by hand (I doubt most grocery store style cash registers have any means of inputting random text on a receipt (a system using essentially a full computer (screen, keyboard etc) could likely do it, but that's normally not what they have in a grocery store, more likely in other places) - and adding by hand you could do yourself... If a company were to send an invoice to your company then that would be no issue (need the VAT regitration number too, for reverse VAT charge within EU) But that wouldn't be the typical situation for a grocery store... Curious, how would you/they deal with a receipt from say a ticket machine where no human interaction is available? Frankly, it seems a pointless requirement. If you're handing it in that should be it (as long as the purchase is within the scope of the company, follow guidelines for expenses etc), I mean, you could just as easily ask a company to put that number on the receipt for something that doesn't/shouldn't qualify. Or am I missing something?

Hej! Vilken bra fråga :) Ja, nästan. Man kan säga: "Ursäkta, var kan jag hitta mjölken?" Om du vill lära dig mer om hur man pratar i affären / på restaurang så är den här kursen perfekt för dig! elansutbildning.teachable.com/courses/enrolled/1010365

Good question! They can say it in different ways but it could be "Skriv in din pinkod" or "ange din pinkod" 🙂

We do use the dividers :) Of course it depends on how crowded the place is, and now with more social distancing we are using it less. But sure. Hope this video makes your next Swedish supermarket experience less terrifying :D

Do they even ask that? Anyway it would be ”Vill du ha en påse/kasse?”

In grocery stores/supermarkets the bags are typically stored under the belt, before the cashier, so you just pick the bags you need and put on the belt along with the other items. You are likely to get the question in other stores though, say a bookstore. Also, the plain/normal plastic bags are heavily taxed, so many reuse the bags and bring them with them when going shopping, plastic and paper). Most supermarket/big box chains also sell sturdier plastic bags (woven plastic w/ sewn nylon carrying straps/handles) that last a long time, for usually not much more (not taxed due to multiple use) than the plain ones, that is just for this type of reuse/bring with you.

Great question! Vill ha du ha en påse? or sometimes they just say "påse"? (påse = bag)

@@FunSwedish tack så mycket 🙃

hej hej :)

I think that filmjölk is a bit sweeter but it is perhaps a bit similar.

🙈🙈🙈

🤣

Great points! Interesting, never though about those small cents you can't get back in chash. Might be becacuase we pay most things with card / digitally, so it doesnt make that much of a difference 🤔.

Vi ses PÅ ICA :)

@@FunSwedish Interesting. Hope there is some explanation for it : )

Yeah I can understand what they say it in swedish something like ''posay''😃

1.5% is "mellanmjölk" (middle milk, usually green packaging/text. 3% is our standard milk, usually red, "lättmjölk" (light/skimmed milk) is 0.5%, usually blue.

Det gör vi!

Happy to help!
