Very helpful and interesting. In Austrian dialect the "five to half something" or "five past something" is also very commonly used as well. I don't know Danish but I visited recently and they seem to use this closer to the English way if I'm correct? Swedish really doesn't seem to hard to learn for Austrians/Bavarian dialect, because while we do tend to swallow consonants - i.e. oftentimes the letter "r" gets skipped or at least it's never rolled - we practically also use an "å" aside the obvious use of Umlauts
Yes the video was very clear, and I using your videos while studying my notes from my swedish course. It helps like you have no idea. Thank you for teaching us :)!!! SUSCRIBED!
Hej Joakim, thanks for explaining asking for the time: it is identical to what we - in Southern Germany - do have! And: a lot of people from the northern part of Germany are really in trouble with this method ... the same as you mentioned it!
In German as well, "halb zwölf" means 11:30, but in English "half twelve" is short for "half _past_ twelve" so there's a different logic at play there. I wonder if there's some language that has a third system, though I'm not sure how that would work. Edit: at least that's what people mean by "half twelve" in Irish English
That's one British English thing which still confuses me sometimes as a US speaker. The only context where I'd encountered that before was in German, where it works like in Swedish. Good way to be an hour off, if you automatically interpret it the other way. 😅
Can you tell us what swedes mean with for example "åttatiden"? I know it's something around eight. But does it mean from a quarter to eight until a quarter after eight or just before nine?
Wow, very good question. I'd assume that people would mean eight o'clock but with reservation for up to 5-15 minutes delay. Might even be 15-5 minutes before the time as well for some people as well. It's not set in stone, but it is fairly close it the whole hour.
@@sayitinswedish thank you. So swedes are generally quite in time when meeting somewhere? I'm Swiss, so when we say we meet at 10: 27 and then you are allowed to actually show up between 10:27 and 10:27... 😉

I do not have to struggle with 11:30 because I am German and we do it in the exact same way like the swedish people do 😊
Tack så mycket😊

In the French version of your first name we pronounce it ZHWAH KEEM😊
Great video! In Ukrainian we say half twelve's (half of 12) meaning 11:30, quite similar to what you say

Chan om du ser det här så vill jag bara att du ska veta att ditt uttal är perfekt!
The 24 hour clock isn't difficult, but telling time in Swedish seems complex...
I think 💭 they use only the 24-hour time format in Sweden 🇸🇪.
I had to pause the video to get the “35 mins past...” lol
Many english also say half 12 today, not half past 11
Interesting.

Telling time is very similar to croatian...🙂
What is the time Now in Sweden 🇸🇪!
Your now was yesterday

@@christineschar8119 the stereotype is that we would show up at 10:15 and walk around the area until it is time.
@@rakhoo5236 Swiss people 🤣 so the stereotype says
Basic, please, baSic with an S. I don't want to seem mean but you use this word in every video so please... Love your channel though!
Lol, it really varies a lot, I'm already aware. I'm sure my message comes across despite my accent.
wow i was going to study how to ask/say the time in swedish and your video popped up, tyvm Joakim :)
Perfekt!
