      Somehow when I'm here in Europe I don't really care for IKEA that much, since there are enough furniture stores that sell contemporary and affordable furniture that I like more than the stuff from IKEA.
      But somehow when I'm abroad I go crazy seeing all the European style furniture xD ^^'

    • @adisgracetoghost9957
      @adisgracetoghost9957 6 лет назад +22

      Its probably because its human nature to want everything to be fair, so im guessing that your comforted knowing that you aren't missing out on a cooler ikea (besides for the food conveyor belt because that was pretty awesome)

    What I really love about IKEA is that it looks so similar whichever country you are in. I'm Swedish, and if I am abroad somewhere, and feel homesick, I just go to IKEA, walk around, and eat some meatballs. :)

      ***** Hey, just wondering, are Ikea meatballs considered an okay representation of Swedish food? Like it's not considered blasphemy to Swedish cuisine or something? I always wonder about it when I eat there.

    • @albinm6278
      @albinm6278 9 лет назад +9

    • @douglasdamstrom
      @douglasdamstrom 8 лет назад +5

      well. they both do! If you say How was dinner? (Hur var middagen?) then you answer with It was good (Den var god)
      and if you as someting like How did your test/grocure shoping go? (hur gick ,det på provet/ med shopingen?) then you say It went well (Det gick bra)
      I am not that good with laguges but maby that helpted out :)
      They are kind of the same word/mean the same but depending on what comes first and if its singular and plural it can change back andd forth and back agen, you can say anyone if you like, ppl will understand but it migth sound strange in some situations

    • @0LoneTech
      @0LoneTech 6 лет назад

      God/gott also means tasty and benevolent, while bra is a more generic positive. For instance, if you saw someone take a fall you might ask "gick det bra?" where english would use "are you alright?" So good and god are basically the same word, while bra might be a little closer to well (though that might sometimes be closer to frisk, which means healthy or sometimes cool, although it's the same root as fresh, which usually translates to färsk... lots of close resemblances).

  • @Mycenaea
    @Mycenaea 9 лет назад +358

    Sounds to me like Japanese people are pronouncing IKEA correctly :)
    IKEA = Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd
    Ingvar Kamprad = name of the man behind IKEA
    Elmtaryd and Agunnaryd = where he grew up
    Translation of the Swedish words in this video:
    *försiktig* = careful
    *tokig*(I think the sallad spinner was called that) = crazy/mad
    *plastis* = "plastie"
    *färgrik* = colourful
    *Löttorp* = the name of a Swedish town
    *stoppklocka* = stopwatch
    *vakna!* = wake up!
    *Innfjorden* = Not sure, but I think it's a Norwegian town
    *godkänna* = approve
    *Alseda* = the name of a Swedish "kyrkby". Not sure if there's a name in English for this, but it's what we call a collection of small houses that were built around churches hundreds of years ago... kind of
    *brakig 2014* = "breaky" 2014
    *poäng* = point/score/purpose
    *detolf* = I have no idea what or who this is and google didn't help me either
    *faktum* = fact/circumstance/actuality
    *smäcker* = sleek
    *Jansjö* = the name of a Swedish village -- *Jan* = male name, *sjö* = lake
    *tack så mycket* = thank you so much
    -

    • @lptw3882

      I'm Japanese. Salmon isn't considered kids food in Japan. For instance, smoked salmon is popular with alcohol and beer. But it is true that so many Japanese kids like salmon. They often eat salmon sushi in sushi restaurant. Probably the most popular sushi for Japanese kids is salmon.
      So my guess is that some Japanese people think you like childish food if you say to them "I'm crazy about salmon!”

    So for those of you who don't know, Ikea name their products after scandinavian/northern stuff. So like, chairs and work desks have male swedish names, fabric and curtains have female swedish names. Things for the bathroom are named after rivers, lakes and harbors in scandinavia.
    Most garden articles are named after swedish islands, carpets are named after danish places, diningrooms are named after finnish places. Beds, wardrobes and furniture for foyers are named after norwegian places, and childrens articles are named after adjectives, birds and mammals!

We will try and send help soon, however all teams sent into ikea thus far have also been lost.

      I'm from Sweden and have lived in Taiwan and China. While they still had meatballs there they served it in Taiwan with French fries, which would be an absolute no-no in Sweden. Also if I'm not mistaken they had some more local food options as well. But they're always gonna have those meatballs...!

    • @raikozy35
      @raikozy35 9 лет назад +6

      +J0kuc because they are using that katakana (kanji characters) for foreign words and when you read it, it supposed to sound like how it supposed to sound in that native language (hopefully with correct pronunciation), which is a bit hard for like English words, because japanese partitioned a lot of words and don't natively have some sounding words, So yeah maybe reading katakana sounds better for swedish

      +ZarlanTheGreen Jun's native language isn't English. He just happens to be a very fluent speaker of a foreign tongue. So, Japanese native speaker, conversationally fluent in English, trying to pronounce Swedish. I'd say that is pretty damn impressive, so take the stick out of your but and give the man the respect he deserves.

    • @ZarlanTheGreen
      @ZarlanTheGreen 9 лет назад +1

      +ImFrelled _"Jun's native language isn't English. He just happens to be a very fluent speaker"_
      ...and, given that, it's not much of an achievement.
      "Försiktig" was pronounced no different from how an English speaker would read it, as it were in English.
      Nor, is it any different from how a somewhat skilled Japanese person (who is able to say it, without adding "u"s between consonants) would pronounce it, as it it were in English.
      The "ö" is pronounced exactly like an "o".
      No attempt at anything other than an "o" (to be fair, they had nothing to indicate how it _is_ supposed to be pronounced)
      Sure, Jun is impressive in having learned such fluent English (given the extra hurdles, that Japanese people face), and he did make good _attempts_ at pronouncing the Swedish words (though generally getting it wrong, as one would expect), in general...
      ...that doesn't mean that his attempt at "försiktig" was particularly good.
      A decent attempt, sure, but not a notably good one.
      _"and give the man the respect he deserves"_
      He deserves plenty of respect, and nowhere in this comments section, have I disrespected him, in the least.
      ...but I'm not going to miss-characterize things, or praise him for something that he hasn't done, or which isn't really an achievement.

I took my time to look at the video and get words/sentences that are actually useful in Sweden. I enjoyed this video so much. Keep up the great work!

    This was interesting! I'm from Sweden and as you probably know that's where IKEA is from. The way Jun pronounced IKEA is actually more close to the swedish way of pronouncing it. I really enjoy your channel, regards from Sweden 💖

    I really don't know why, but IKEA feels somewhat like a store that would origin from Japan. I get that is' Swedish but still. No clue.

    This was so much fun to watch! I love how enthusiastic you (Rachel) are and that you (everyone in the group) gladly wanted to try pronounce the Swedish names! The Japanese people are really good at pronouncing the swedish names and spelling them (like in order to teach the pronouncing). Creds to the one making the swedish translation

    The Japanese way of saying IKEA is much closer to the real Swedish name than the English way of saying it.
    EDIT: 2:41 That's the name of the city I grew up in Hønefoss! =D

    Your swedish isnt too bad actually, just need to fit the ÅÄÖ / åäö better

      ludvig Berglund Yes it is. They're good attempt, though.
      They mess up most of it, just as you'd expect of someone trying to pronounce words, in a foreign language.
      Though they got "poäng" right and "vakna" was _almost_ right. Also the Japanese manage to pronounce IKEA, correctly.

      +ludvig Berglund I was also very surprised. OF course they don't have a grasp of ÄÅÖ as they're totally unknown to them. And stressing was off, naturally :P

      +ludvig Berglund Hey, do you know how to pronounce those letters correctly? I'm trying to learn swedish, but since I live in Arizona, USA, I can only learn it online, and I'm very unsure if I am pronouncing things.

    • @JustcallmeaGoGo
      @JustcallmeaGoGo 9 лет назад +1

      +jmyetman1999 yes. since i am Swedish, naturally. For learning Swedish id recomennd reddit.com/r/TillSverige or rosetta stone program. People on reddit ar always glad to help. Anyway, the best way to learn is to listen. Its half the reason i am here, to listen to Japanese, and learn.

      ludvig Berglund Thanks! I'm using "Duolingo.com" for learning, Swedish, as it's a really good free site. I was just worried that I was mispronouncing everything.
