      @rivdottir 4 года назад +19

      Brian Velez I think it’s other people who call it that. Think it’s because we go up and down alot in tone when we speak or when we are feeling serious or not. Alot is high or low depending on what u mean when u speak 😄

  • @Thaum1el

    My impression is that the app pronounciation is more casual, day-to-day, colloquial, while the samples with pictures tend to be more articulated and careful. The app often reflects more how people actually speak day-to-day.

    This app mixes proper pronunciation with a pronunciation that you would use in an actual conversation. At the word “ja” = yes you didn’t even get to hear the proper pronunciation. The normal way of saying yes would be a long a or “jaA” so you jump up with a short a after a long a sound

    I'm Swedish and I have to say your pronouncing was great, I understand that for other countries å,ä and ö is hard to pronounce. I can give some tip, our R are "rolling", aeiouyåäö - those letters are more "extended" (which is where the more singing part comes in). I hope that this tip will help :)

    @jessicajohansson 4 года назад +1

    I think you did a really good job, especially for trying it for the first time! I don't think the app was very good though, they spoke with different dialects and the speaker voice mostly pronounced things the way we say them in conversation which could be a pretty confusing mixture. Just earlier today I saw a video where they talked about the different swedish dialects and how to sound more like a native speaker, it was called "Understanding the Swedish pitch accent" on the channel academia cervena in case you're interested, it was a pretty interesting video! :)
    Also I don't know if dozens of people have already said this but swedish is basically a mixture of english, german and french. It is a germanic language though, which is why it's technically easier for someone who speaks english (which is also a germanic language) to learn swedish than for example spanish or french since those are romance languages.
    Anyways, great video! :)

  • @iusethisplatform
    @iusethisplatform 4 года назад +7

    English isn’t really phonetically consistent, so you almost can never guess what a word sounds like by reading words if you aren’t familiar with English patterns or anything besides standard English pronunciation. Swedish is a lot more consistent with sounds, so you can mostly guess what a word "sounds like" once you know the standard pronunciation of letters.
    English is like Chinese when you LITERALLY have to memorize every single character/symbol/word individually. I didn’t realize this until I began to learn languages.

  • @poisonbomb1
    @poisonbomb1 3 года назад +2

    Personally I think the "tack" sounded really good too o.O The "hejdå" was like any swede :O
    The "r" are often silent in common words or sayings, very unclear for non-natives which ones that are silent and which ones aren't though XD "hur ä läget", "nu shö vi", "vashågo"/"varshego", "fölåt", "gomorron" (takes away other letters instead), "gonatt", "ja(g)",
    "Läge" is also "situation" which is a much more suited translation in that context, so, "how is the situation?"/"hur är läget"/"what's up".
    Ja, can be said many different ways but mean pretty much the same just as yes can be be said like yep, yeah, ye. The same with nej. "näe" as the AI(?) said is pretty much the same as "nah" in english.
    No idea what so ever why "att må" is in there, either way it's only followed by different versions of good or bad. Att må bättre/to feel better, att må fantastiskt/to feel amazing or att må jättedåligt/to feel really bad.
    "å" instead of "att" is really depending on dialect, most would probably pronounce it like "att" instead of "å".
    "är" is pronounced as "ä" except those Stockholm people who seems scared of the letter ä.
    You don't quite get the g sound in geni it sounds like "heni", it's in fact the same sound as in sju (seven) so it's not wierd ;P
    Some surprisingly good ones (though I heard from some songs/snacks reviews that you were pretty good at sounding out swedish words already) ^^ And some not so good ones :P
    I'd say 7/10 :)

    Certain letters in Swedish make different sounds than they would in English. For example, 'k' usually sounds like a 'sh' as does the 'tj' in Tjena. And 'sj' is just like breathing out. And then obviously you've got ä, ö and å. But overall for a first delve in Swedish (or svenska), you did great! Grattis!

It gives an appreciation for and a sense of the rhythm of the language.

  • @doodledee8077

    Just as a tip, the second speaker serves as more of a casual pronunciation, wheras the first speaker serves as a more literal and formal pronunciation, which is why it sounds a bit off. As someone who is a native english speaker who can speak swedish, i was in the exact same boat as you and totally understand the confusion. 👍🏻

    We like to make letters silent. Like "Godmorgon" [God-morgon] which literally means good (god) morning (morgon). But people like to pronounce it "gomorgon" or "gomorron". Mostly due to dialect or people going with what is quicker (easier) or rather simplest to say (becuase people are THAT lazy). They even shortcut through words.

    Think you did really well. Maybe like a 7 out of 10. You pronounced some words in the first part allmost like a swede. "Hallå" is a word that can be used to get someones attention like on the phone "Hallå ?" - "Hello?" Or on a distance but allsow as a "Hi". "Godmorgon" is written "God morgon" (Good morning) in swedish but we usually shorten it to "Go'morron" and that is more like the way the app/guy says it and you said "God morgon" like it would be in a more clean swedish. The same thing with "Godnatt" (Goodnight) it is written "God natt"(good night) or Go'natt (like the app/guy). Keep on trying and you will get it. You seem to have a good ear for languages :-)

    You missed these ones: Å, Ä, Ö
    Å sounds oh
    Ä sounds eh
    Ö sounds oeh
    You welcome!
    Also, the reason you hear it differently, is because of the accent...
    An accent from Stockholm, sounds different from Göteborg, and so forth and so on...

    I agree with my fellow Swedes, you are really good at the pronunciation, but to be brutally honest, the app sucked 🙈
    They talk with dialects and not the proper way to learn the language.
    I've never heard that the swedish word 'sju' is the word we always try non swedes to say, you should try 'sjuksköterska' instead 😉 meaning nurse.
    Keep up the good work, love your videos 👌🏻🤩

    The ”most unreliable source” as you called the pronouncer without a face or whatever is basically more of an “accent-free” type of saying it and me being a Swedish speaker is the most accurate of these but the app was kinda shit when it comes to Swedish, also I feel like the only one you really didn’t get at all right was the word “geni” you put in a “h” sound out of nowhere but it’s more of a “sje”

    Yes, German has a lot of similar words to Swedish, more than English. And the way you say god morgon is correct but unnatural, written and spoken Swedish are very different.
    Haha, you're saying heni instead of geni. The g is a hard sound in this case, have no idea how to write it but I'm surprised you didn't even try to imitate it.
