- Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
Swedish (Svenska)
Native to: Sweden, Finland, Estonia
Ethnicity: Swedes, Finns
Native speakers: 10 million
L2 speakers: 3.2 million (2018)
Language family: Indo-European (Germanic)
is a North Germanic language spoken natively by 10 million people, predominantly in Sweden (as the sole official language) and in parts of Finland, where it has equal legal standing with Finnish. It is largely mutually intelligible with Norwegian and Danish, although the degree of mutual intelligibility is largely dependent on the dialect and accent of the speaker. Written Norwegian and Danish are usually more easily understood by Swedish speakers than the spoken languages, due to the differences in tone, accent and intonation. Swedish is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples living in Scandinavia during the Viking Era. It has more speakers than any other North Germanic language.
Standard Swedish, spoken by most Swedes, is the national language that evolved from the Central Swedish dialects in the 19th century and was well established by the beginning of the 20th century. While distinct regional varieties and rural dialects still exist, the written language is uniform and standardized.
The standard word order is, as in most Germanic languages, V2, which means that the finite verb (V) appears in the second position of a declarative main clause. Swedish morphology is similar to English; that is, words have comparatively few inflections. Swedish has two genders and is generally seen to have two grammatical cases - nominative and genitive (except for pronouns that, as in English, also are inflected in the object form) - although it is debated if the genitive in Swedish should be seen as a genitive case or just the nominative plus the so-called genitive s, then seen as a clitic. Swedish has two grammatical numbers - plural and singular. Adjectives have discrete comparative and superlative forms and are also inflected according to gender, number and definiteness. The definiteness of nouns is marked primarily through suffixes (endings), complemented with separate definite and indefinite articles. The prosody features both stress and in most dialects tonal qualities. The language has a comparatively large vowel inventory. Swedish is also notable for the voiceless dorso-palatal velar fricative, a highly variable consonant phoneme.
Swedish has also had historic use in Estonia, although the current status of the Estonian Swedish speakers is almost extinct. Instead, it is used in the Swedish diaspora, most notably in Oslo, Norway, with more than 50,000 resident Swedes.

The voewels are so funny and hard to imitate... but way easier than danish!
yup i'm very good at pronounciation when it comes to languages but i just can't master that i sound that sounds like "ee"
@@chuzhoy333 Most dialects have [i:].
This language sounds amazingly similar to Swedish. I'm impressed.
This.... is swedish.
Because it is :D
What's the joke? I want to get it.
Such a beautiful language. I love Swedish and Sweden.
A fascinating North Germanic language! I'm surprised by the number of words that are similar to English!
The Swedish Names for the Colors is very similar to the English Names.
English and Swedish are in the same language family (germanic)
well both languages are related
colours
That’s because both languages have a Germanic root. And similar spelling
@@dotdashdotdash they’re using the American standard language. And you’re using another standard. Both of you are right when it comes to the spelling of “colour/color” and “flavour/flavor” and “humour/humor” and “labour/labor” and “neighbour/neighbor”
Swedish is a native language to 5% of population of Finland. And as far as I know it's also taught in every Finnish school as a second language. My question is: how many of Finnish native speakers are really fluent in Swedish?
As a native speaker of Finnish, who has learned Swedish in school, my estimate is that Finnish speakers knowledge of Swedish is quite limited. I would consider myself being in top 20 %. My Swedish pronounciation has super-heavy Finnish accent and I mix en and ett in grammatical gender with many words, but when I was few years ago in Stockholm, I spoke only Swedish and could buy tickets, travel everywhere and managed in all situations. So, my Swedish speaking is not fluent, but I can cope with it. Most of my friends wouldn't even try, they would speak English in Sweden.
It is hard to determine, most speak at least a little basic swedish. As someone who is half swedish and half finnish and grown up in Finland mostly and partly in Sweden and speaks both languages fluently, i would say maybe 30% can hold a basic conversation in swedish after the basic school education swedish lessons. Based on my experience i doubt anyone learns fluent swedish only based on the swedish education we get in primary school. This is only based on my own school experience in finnish lapland(torne valley) though so it probably changes a lot depending on the area you live in.
I am a native Finnish speaker and fluent in Swedish. Most of my friend are pretty fluent as well (to some degree at least) or they are Swedish speakers to begin with. But then again I am from Helsinki where every other neighbor is a Swedish speaker so you hear it spoken here, there and everywhere. But I have to say that it's not always easy to learn it because the Swedish speakers tend to change to Finnish immediately when there's just one Finnish speaker at the party :D
As a finn I of course speak swedish and I love this language
Swenska language is too beautiful in my opinion, like German, better than french
English: Island 🏝
Spanish: Isla 🏝
Meanwhile in Sweden:
*Ö*
Danish: ø
Hey, people from Sweden 🇸🇪 I’m a native Swedish speaker from Finland 🇫🇮 (finlandssvensk), and I was just wondering: what kind of dialect/accent are the people in the clip using? Is it just very much standard Swedish, like “rikssvenska” with no flavour to it at all, or..? At times, I find some of the sounds a little closer to how we speak over here than modern Swedish on television etc. I’m thinking they’re perhaps speaking a little bit old-fashioned, well-pronounced standard “rikssvenska”? Would be interesting to know 😊
Sounds like a mix was used. I noticed in the word for "sked" she pronounced it /ʃeːd/ like finlandssvenskar would, while rikssvenska should be pronounced /ɧeːd/
Yeah i would say it's pretty much rikssvenska, and especially the man reading the human rights sound a little bit old-fashioned.
As a Kurdish native speaker I only found a similar word between kurdish and Swedish except the numbers which is (hår) in kurdish its ( por ) the pronunciation is the same only in kurdish the word starts with ( P ) letter

It would be awesome if you made these videos , thanks in advance :-)
The more S-like pronounciation some people have, like this woman, is a bit cute to me...
shhed... sshampinjoner... It feels wrong and weird when I try to pronounce sked and champinjoner like she does :P
I just LOVE this intonation which arises because of the pitch accent
Im learning Swedish/Svenska and in one of my first lessons. Please is “Snälla” while Ursäkta is excuse me. In the vid the translations for both words are different. Does Swedish have the same words but different meaning depending on context? Another note is that Tack can also mean please as in the example sentence given to me “En fisk, tack” which translates to a fish please.
hey, fellow swedish learner! i am swedish my self. so i wanted to explain some things on what you said :D so yeah, we say "snälla", as please, and "ursäkta", as excuse me. in this video, they said that please is "vänligen" which is very very formal. so "snälla" is the correct word. and they also said that sorry is "ursäkta" which is not true, because "ursäkta" is excuse me, and sorry is "förlåt".
sorry to be such a bother- but anyways, thanks for learning swedish! :D greetings from sweden haha!!
Although we do not use the "sch-sound" in the way the voice pronounced "sked". That was more commonly heard back in the day in theater plays and in old movies. It is pronounced more like the dutch G (Groningen, gulden, ...) though not as harsh.
I'm Swedish and approve this video🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
This is what I was waiting for
Why does the lady pronounce "r" as in Mandarin or as Ř in Czech?

Greetings from Russia. I always wanted to heart how sounds Swedesh language.
Nice!
J is /j/, not /dʒ/...
for the algorithm
In Russian language we also use “Dusch” (Душ), as a “shower”. Kastrull - кастрюля (kastrulya)
Buljong - бульон
Jag talar svenska
@The Jedi Master god!
Bäst för dig

*wheeze*
XD moment
Swedish shower is exactly like in Russian
good.
Öl is Oil in german 😂 (Swedish Beer)
a lot of wrongs in the pronunciation. An example is Vänligen.
Its not that wrong.. ursäkta is more off than vänligen
Do you always have to speak swedish with that wavy sound?🤨
Yes
Swedish is kind of known for its "sing songy" up and down sounds. However, it typically isn't as exaggerated in normal conversation as it is here.
aaaaaà

I laughed very hard at "6"
Manchmal ähnliche Wörter wie im Deutschen. Zum Beispiel Schwedisch ben. Deutsch Bein. Englisch leg. Französisch jambe.
Salam Alaikum Sweden!
Yea. SEX. MEANS 6.JUST THINK ABOUT IT😂😂😂😂
Sound like Turkish and German mix
Turkish is very monotonous compared to Swedish and aside from the front vowels /y/ and /œ/ I don’t hear a lot of similarities tbh
Now I can communicate with Pewdiepie.
