The Swedish pop mega-group were formed in Stockholm in 1972 by Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The group's name is an acronym of the first letters of their first names.
This is a fascinating and RARE video clip, where Agnetha Faltskog of ABBA tells the world (and the TV Presenter) how to pronounce her name correctly in Swedish. His reaction however is to keep getting it wrong!

This was one of those prophetic moments. Three people in the same room all conversing to each other by phone. 40 years ahead of their time🤣
It would be 100% accurate if they were writing to each other on messenger
i was your 300th like. but your comment deserves more likes.
Haha, so true. The only way my husband and I can speak to our daughter most times is by texting her. She’s literally only about 35’ away from us at all times, lol
Interesting and true comment. 🤣👍🏼
So true. 😄
A beautiful woman who was 'shy' to a certain degree..but always conducted herself professionally..some might do to take a leaf out of her demeanour!
Well said David! Genuine humility and modesty......
Guess you didn't see the movie about them and what a bad temper she has. She hated to be around people and flying.
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv Well, what's the movie called?
@@bigmamisvea3318 That was about 5 years ago. Something Abba for sure. She kicked out her husband bjorn after her baby. She hated to travel and crowds. They were and still are my favorite group.
Some women, or just some people in general?
It's lovely hearing her Swedish accent🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
She just says 'yeah' every time he gets it wrong. Sweetest young girl.
with a very bad temper. You did not see the movie of them?
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv what's the movie called
@@JULIOHERNANDEZ-cy7sq that was 5 years ago or more. can't remember. Something abba. But they are still one of my favorite groups. I am not married to her. 😁
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv I know Agnetha can swear like a guy, be stubborn, kind of rough and also be very feminine and sensitive. But "bad temper"? What does it mean? Easily getting angry?
@@herrbonk3635 Yes. They said it in the movie. She gets angered quickly. My point is.. she is not some sweet innocent women who would not hurt a fly. 😁
Doesnt matter how many times she is spelling it out to him - He will not be able to pronounce it anyway :-)
Most British can only pronounce (and spell...) their own names correctly.
Don’t know why he asked if he didn’t want to listen.
@@steveg2479
Radio and TV presenters just listen to their own thoughts and to what they have to say, not their guests...
@@Mario-xr3jo Most people from any culture. For some reason it is offensive for British people to both mangle other culture's names, but also draw attention to people mangling their names.
@@TheToledoTrumpton
I was granted 4 different British certificates in a couple of years, and my name was NOT correct on any of them. Including the one from the police.
I had to ask for a re-issue.
Seems they're illiterate...
In swedish, whenever there is a "ng" sound followed by the letter "n", it will be spelled as "gn". So just imagine her name is spelled "Angnetha".
Stay away from 'th'.
This, finally, is the explanation I have waited 45 years to see.
@@rogergreen9861 Haha. You're welcome.
Well, it's a very beautiful name, especially hearing her pronounce it.
I agree!
She is one of the most beautiful and talented singers ever .
100% Correct!
TAKE IT EASY PEOPLE NO MATTER THE ACCENT AGNETHA IS AGNETHA AND IS PERFECT THE BEAUTIFUL GIRL WITH GOLDEN HAIR GOLDEN VOICE AND MOST GOLDEN HEART!!!GOD BLESS YOU CHIQUITITA AGNETHA!!!
I grew up as a kid in the 70's in Australia .
They were massive superstars then there.
As a kid I wore ABBA T-shirts , had ABBA posters in my room , everything.
I was in love with her . She was my angel.
Now I live in Europe and I'm 43 years old.
Still in love with her !!!!!!
she is so beautiful, I think my eyes just died after staring at her for 2 seconds!!!
I was so in love with her when I was in my teens...
The age difference is 11 year, me being younger.
And always on the lookout for women who resembled her at least a little bit.
@bruce t
Good for you!
Agnetha 😍
I absolutely love abba and I’m an eleven year old. Abba, you will never lose your shine!🥳🥳🤩🤩so happy they’re coming back!!
Lovely Agnetha! ♥️
Beautiful Agnetha!
She reminds me so much of my mom, by looks and manners it's amazing.
You must have a wonderful mom then!
@@haliho8827 Yes! From the inside and outside :) Thanks!
My mother was from Scandinavia and its the same for me!
It is pronounced Angneta altough spelled Agnetha. No one ever seems to give this easy explanation.
You nailed that Christer!
Try pronouncing her last name. That's a bit harder.
@@RoughJustice2k18 No it's not!
she clearly said.. ag knee etha. Not ag net ah
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv
The G is silent, or slurred so severely that it's hardly present.
If Mike asked ten times she would still answer smilingly.
I love her name her voice her beauty love you Agnetha
I want to marry 30 years old agnetha🔥
My father had a huge crush on Agnetha and Olivia Newton-John. He was a mad ABBA fan and he liked ONJ in the movie Grease. Two blonde ladies with talent (his words). I was around when ABBA was a current group - being a kid growing up in the '70s meant buying/owning copies of their records and a K-Tel collection.
Summer Days, Drifting Away! Great Music back then! :-)
Wow it’s almost like he can read my mind I love them both too. Both kind beautiful souls.
Agnetha = 90% the succes of ABBA
You couldn’t be more wrong. Maybe she was the beautiful, appealing image of the band for some, but Abba’s music is a real collective effort. Benny and Bjorn were phenomenal composers, and the vocal harmonies and individual performances made Abba as epic as it was!
I guess you’re not a musician ;)
Agnetha = Angel...
There is no l
The 70’s . Bring em back
100% correct! :-)
Te Amooo AGNETHA
Argentina Ama A ABBA.
Siempre linda Agnetha 😍😍
The 'TV presenter' is Mike Read - so the programme must be Saturday Superstore - first broadcast BBC1 on a Saturday Morning, ~9am - 12. That time slot previously had the Noel Edmonds Multi-coloured Swap Shop (aka 'Swap Shop') and after 'Superstore' finished, the slot was taken by 'Going Live' presented by Philip Schofield.
AgnETA👍
👋🐬👍
Ang-neta
@@elledaniels3176 As an Indian, my native language also has a "gn" letter where the stress is on the pronunciation of the n similar to what she is making and the g sound is absent, g is like a guidance to have your tongue in that position to pull that distinct n sound. Wondering if it is similar in Swedish.
Mike still pronounced it wrongly after she told him the right way!
That's because he was such a poor interviewer and rubbish presenter, Agnetha looked so unimpressed by his questions 🙄
Enough said ... you're ABBAsolutely correct! :-)
Its just diffiuclt. Swedish is an easy language to learn for english speakers, grammatically speaking but pronounciation is very difficult, especially since we use pitch-accents and such. Although the pitch-accent isn't what the problem is here, it is still interesting.
A pitch-accent language is a language that has word accents in which one syllable in a word or morpheme is more prominent than the others, but the accentuated syllable is indicated by a contrasting pitch (linguistic tone) rather than by loudness, as in a stress-accent language. Pitch-accent also contrasts with fully-tonal languages like Standard Chinese in which each syllable can have an independent tone.
Languages that have been described as pitch-accent languages include most dialects of Serbo-Croatian, Slovene, Baltic languages, Ancient Greek, Vedic Sanskrit, Tlingit, Turkish, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish, Western Basque,[1] Yaqui,[2] certain dialects of Korean, and Shanghainese
The extinct language Proto-Indo-European, the putative ancestor of most European, Iranian and North Indian languages, is usually reconstructed to have been a free pitch-accent system. ("Free" here refers to the position of the accent since its position was unpredictable by phonological rules and so could be on any syllable of a word, regardless of its structure.) From comparisons with the surviving Indo-European daughter languages, it is generally believed that the accented syllable was higher in pitch than the surrounding syllables. Among daughter languages, a pitch-accent system is found in Vedic Sanskrit, Ancient Greek, the Baltic languages and some South Slavic languages, although none of them preserves the original system intact.

Didn't help that he didn't bother waiting for her to finish before trying to say her name again. Shows that he wasn't really listening nor cared.
@@fawziekefli2273 Mike Read was always more interested in himself🙄
Que hermosa es Agnetha!!!😍
Agnetha’s real name is Anietha,she teaches everyone how to pronounce her precious name!!!
I'm Swedish and it's pronounced Ug-ne-tu.
Mucho talento y belleza en esta mujer.
what's up with them all holding telephones while talking directly?
They are answering questions from the viewers.
Also, Agnetha is trying to avoid including Mike in the conversation!
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
TV shows back then let fans ring in with questions for the guests...and everyone was on the same line
It's the classic Saturday morning kid's TV viewer phone in.
Sounds like Agñeta. Whatever...I love you forever blondie 🤩😍
They were super in their Charakter. Agnetha, charming is for me the intelligent head, Her voice tremendous, Benny Here was a 🆒 Typ, had His Humor....... I wonder often, that they separeted but I understand the decision, Agnetha has 2 children, and not always touring..... I wish all 4 members of ABBA blessings from 🇩🇪..... 🇸🇪💯💙 and for All Here too. 💙💙💙
Well said Heike :-) I agree ....
@@Mike9Red, yes that is it. Thanks. 🇩🇪🌷🌿🌾🌷🌿🌾
Nice hello Agnetha 👍👍❤️❤️
Ag Nieta, Ag+daugher in law in spanish, I'll never forget this now, jajajajaj
Not daughter in law but granddaughter.

Es incorrecto :)
No se pronuncia así

Солнышко мое! ❤❤❤❤❤ Люблю ее! 😊
Thank You, gracia's for your musical arts design's concerns.
I thought the hardest part for me will be remembering the way to pronounce Agnetha, but it seems like..hemm..the telephone will stuck forever in my head..
social distance interviews before zoom
Good old days without mobile phones. Now we all addicted.
You can have mine 📞
Love you beautiful Agnetha, love you ABBA with your beautiful voices and magic MUSIC!Beautiful videoclip!Thank you for share!Love and best WHISHES from Romania!!!🌺🌏🙋♀️👏🍀🌞🤍🕊💙💛❤
The worst that, before I found this video and have been listening to ABBA from 2004, and collect more than 60 songs of theirs, I thought her name is AGENTHA. It's not typo. Lol. It's just Agnetha I pronounced wrong.
Yes you just leave out the G in the verbal pronunciation no big deal
@@dewaldvisser2948 Yeah. So thanks to this video I learned.
Beautiful Beautiful Lady
Not hard to pronounce sweetheart, I think your name is beautiful just like you are darling agnetha! ♥️♥️♥️🎵🎵😘
On many comments people write Agnetha which is English pronunciations, but really her name we have to write is ANIETHA (Swedish correct name).Tack Anietha 🇸🇪
It’s still spelled Agnetha in Swedish since it is pronounced so due to Swedish pronunciation rules in Swedish
Wrong...Ang-neta is the correct way.
100% you just leave out the G is that really so hard???
@@dewaldvisser2948 you don’t leave out the G, the G is just softer. Trust me I’m Swedish lol 😂. But honestly I don’t think Agnetha care how people say her name, Swedish can be tricky sometimes.
@@dewaldvisser2948 It is ang. In Swedish when the ng (like sing in English) has an N after you get rid of the n in ng for spelling reasons.
So the word for oven is ugn but it is pronounced ungn.
So in Agneta the ag is pronounced ang. Then you just add neta.
I am Swedish! I learnt these rules at primary school.
you can just kind of see how weary they are of answering inane questions for the hundredth time.
Probably a lot more times even than that Steve!
Muy bonito nombre
Estoy de acuerdo contigo!
Ang-néta.
♥️👍
Ag Near Tah!!
If it were filmed today, they'd be holding smartphones.
Thanks I have always wondered about that. It has rather a Slavic sound to it. Very pretty.
It's Swedish
@@behornedhorse4913 Yes, I know but the "y" "e" sound made it sound somewhat Slavic.
@@mkshffr4936 there is no y at all.
It's Ang-ne-ta
@@starvictory7079 When she says it I am hearing something like Agnyeta. Perhaps I am just hearing it wrong.
@@mkshffr4936 She gives you the wrong pronunciation to make it easier.
I am Swedish and her name is Ang-ne-ta.
Ne is not pronounced knee btw, but ne as in NEver.
Thank you very much. I have been pronouncing it wrong for years. Lol!
Me too!
PT/BP: Anheta
Just think of Aang - the last Airbender - neeta. Long "E" vowel, pronounced like the "E" in the word "Evident". The "A" is pronounced like the "A" in the name "Emma".
☺️💕.
Ahn-'Yettah - got it.
Nailed it!
No...it's not...
Ang-neta
@@starvictory7079 Angnietta?
@@shh6545 no. There is no y in it. Pronounce the e in neta like the e in "steer". (Steer a boat). Then add ah.
Ang-ne-tah.
Ang-net
@@shh6545 btw British English ee in steer
Why are they all on telephones?
Agnetha is a lovely name.
because cell phones were not invented yet ?........just kidding
Because they could not hear one another properly in the studio!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
It was a kids' Saturday morning show, and children could phone in and ask questions directly. On a similar BBC show a few years later, a caller was put through to Five Star and asked them why they were so sh*t :)
Ang (Like in Ang Lee)
Ne (Like in "Near" without the -r)
Tah
Put more stress on "NE" than the other syllables.
Ang _Ne_ Tah
She clearly said.. Ag knee etha
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv Nope, listen again. I´ve known a lot of people named Agneta, and they all pronounce it as I explained, and as she says.
She says "Ang", not "Ag", "Ne" not "Knee" and "Tah" not "Etha". If there had been a "knee" sound in her name and pronouced as you suggest it would have been spelled something like "Aggniettha". The ee-sound in knee is spelled "i" in Swedish. There is no i in her name. The It´s not the ee-sound as in knee, but the ea-sound as in ear, near or beer. In addition there is no (Russian) njet-sound in her name either, and not "th" sound. We don´t have the th-sound of words like the, that in Swedish. The name is Agneta, the h in her name is just there without making any sound.
It´s the same with the names Agne and Agnes in Swedish. It´s not "Agg knee", but "Ang neh" and not "Agg ness", but "Ang ness".
Sorry, even the interviewer says ag knee itha. I have listened to it 5 times and it is the same. Yes, I always thought it was your way, but, she says it is not.
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv He says "Ag Netta", and she corrects him and says it´s "Ang Ne Tah", and then he says it wrong again "Ag njeta" and she politely nods you can see in her eyes and body language that she realize it´s a bit of a lost cause getting him to say it right. He doesn´t say "Knee", or "itha" though, and she definitely doesn´t say that. She says "Ang Ne Tah". Just like any Swede, myself included, would say it. No "ag", no "knee" and no "itha". Listen to it in slower speed if you´re not able to catch that in normal speed.
You can go to Forvo and listen to two people (in different Swedish dialects) pronounce Agneta just like I´ve said "Ang Ne Tah" and you can also hear the obvious difference from how it sounds in German, where they say "Ag Knee Tha" similar how you say it´s pronounced. But that´s not how it´s pronounced in Swedish, and that´s not how Agnetha Fältskog pronounced her name in Swedish.
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv it's definitely "ang", not "ag". trust us, we're both swedish and it's a common swedish name! :P it may be hard to hear the difference for foreigners, but i clearly hear the "ang" sound :)
Poor guy, She pronounces her name for him and he can not say it
without that "G" sound messing it up......
Best comment here!
right, you need to hit that G spot.just kidding
@@jodyguilbeaux8225 Jody !!, You Blaspheme a Goddess....
he dont want to say it
I wouldn't sey "poor guy"... He had the opportunity to be in front or Agnetha!!
Why are they holding telephones?
Agnetha: Benny, Bjorn, Agnetha and Anni-Frid.
Yo: Espera, espera! ¿Por qué Frida va en último lugar?
If you're still out there, she is quoting verbatim the group's name at the time. That was the way the names were ordered on record releases etc. But yes in general conversation you're right, you should always put yourself last.
Benny's shirt : the gunners arsenal ... 😁😁
I would prefer a Newcastle United shirt tbh :-)
The fact that is pretty easy to say
Ja ruf an 😘🙏
It's Aŋneta
ŋ = "ng" in "Sang"
Ag-nyi-ta
The interview date missing... :(((
Why is no one talking about the phones?
Does anyone think that Benny Andersson is perhaps an Arsenal fan?
He certainly wasn't keeping it very discrete!
WHY ARE THEY TALKING WITH PHONES ON THEIR EARS? 😂
What's with the phones?
She reminds me slightly of Christina Applegate without the mean side

So, it's not Ag-ne-tha
but An-ye-tha?
Agnetha est un prénom qui signifie en français chaste et pure.
They were out of microphones and had to use telephones??? What's going on with that?
It was a call-in show, viewers phoned in with questions...
@@calibrax and they couldn’t put a call on a mic or something. Dumb
@@DaniHMcV This was 40 years ago, it wasn't as easy then as it is now. And it also provided a visual cue to let viewers know it was a phone-in segment of the show. The only dumb thing here is you.

Now: how do you pronounce your surname?
So basically Agnita
why are they talking on the phone, when they are sitting right next to each other?
Because they were already living in the 21st century.
