@@FunSwedish I'm utilizing your videos with Rosetta Stone to rough out some of the confusing aspects of the language (like this particular one above), because RS uses no English and only pictures to teach. I find your lessons engaging, fun and very understandable! Thank you! Han Solo, perfect..
Swedish is like Icelandic but cool in its own way. Languages are so unique and individual that you can't really say which one is better. Icelandic sounds sweet and sometimes like wind or erupts like volcano. Swedish is melodic with its tones and it sounds playful. Damn I must learn at least the basics. Jag äter köttbullar
@@FunSwedish can you do a video on words phrases that mean the same but when to use them . I noticed you used jag gillar dig for i like you but before this I always practiced jag tycker om dig
I just found your channel and it is great! I was a high school exchange student in Lund in 1967-1968, and it is interesting to see how Swedish has changed since them. My Swedish sister was a little embarrassed when I called a shopkeeper "du" instead of "ni" so I am happy to hear about the movement to say "du" to everyone!
Thank you for this video! I enjoyed very much the special participation of Agnetha and Benny. Hoping to see Frida and Björn around here as well 🤣🤣 Oh! And I'm looking forward to the "den/det" video!
Hi, Im learning swedish and I just loved the way you explained! i will look for the other videos to continue my learning. Thanks for making it so easy!
I thought I knew all the pronouns, but still opened the video. Oh how glad I am that I did! I would certainly adress the king with "du" otherwise! Now I understand why the guy in duolingo course "var nervös i går eftersom han skulle träffa kungen". He didn't watch this video and was afraid of adressing him inappropriately. ❤
Oh my goodness! When I first learned hon and han, I used Han Solo, too! And in English (in the US, at least), people use the term "Hon" as short for "Honey" when used as a nickname. "Hey, Hon...can you take out the garbage today?" It's often used to refer to a woman (like maybe a waitress)... which may or may not be rude (it's expected in the south). Anyway, I think of Han Solo and calling a woman Hon to keep it straight.
I like this video was very explained on every detail, which is excellent. Like in English in Spanish we refer to / I / equals to /Yo /Jag /or the first person singular, a subject or any theme your talk about will be the subject. The 2nd person You (the listner) /du/, The 3rd. Person, is the topic or theme anything you refer to while in conversation. I was wandering about the formal you/ usted/ like you explained; the British refers to their king the same way, very clear too good video, tack, hejda, gracias, nos vemos, pronto, Wilfredo de Puerto Rico.
The formal "usted" is "Ni" but it is rarely used these days. Unless you are meeting the king very frequently. But it used to be as common as the Spanish "Usted" before the "du reformen".
English is not lazy, it's a pragmatic language with a very pragmatic grammar, I grew up speaking Spanish and then learned English at an early age, the fact that in Spanish (as well as French, the other language I speak) objects have gender is illogical, a table is a table, no gender there
I absolutely love Swedish ❤️🇸🇪❤️ my favourite german language. I am a Czech/Romanian (My native is czech, but i speak romanian too) Fun fact: The pronoun I in Czech is "Já" which is pronounced same as the swedish Jag :D
Hello, thanks for the video. I am from Spain and i have started to learn swedish two weeks ago. I like your video very much, very well explained. I have just subscribed to follow you. Thanks a lot.
I watched a Fun Swedish TH-cam video where you explained the origin of the Swedish word, "Skål"; but I can't remember which one it was. Can you please tell which Fun Swedish TH-cam video it was?
You should be able to find it in our video called "Learn Swedish basic phrases - 16 Swedish words and phrases you need to communicate in Swedish!". We talk about skål the last minute (number 16). Here is the link to that video th-cam.com/video/do5lxbt68UE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=FunSwedish

Great video. Thank you for breaking it down so easily. I have a question -> Er is plural object pronoun. And also Singular possessive pronoun (with era as plural form). This is a bit confusing. Can you explain please.
I am learning Swedish and your videos help me a lot with it! Tack så mycket!☺️ When learning though, I am not sure when to use mitt, mina, min or din, ditt, dina, er, ert, era.
This is a very helpful video. I've been learning Swedish on an app and some of these personal pronouns are confusing. I like the Hans Solo mnemonic to keep han and hon straight. Also on the app I'm using they use tycker om for like and you use gillat. I'm not sure I understand the difference yet. Still so much to learn about Swedish. Tack sa mycket. Great video!
There a lots of wierd things we do with our vowels 😅. From the difference between long and short vowel... to lots of reductions on everyday spoken Swedish 😊
My mom is swedish but I Don’t speak the language. I’ve been going to Sweden and staying with my family now in the summers, but just start studying Swedish. My family is from Skåne. When you say I like you, I’ve been taught Jag tycker om du. Yours is different. What’s the difference?
2:30 France also had a reform similar to this after the revolution, everyone should call other people “tu” (the equivalent of “du”) regardless of the hierarchy, which is called “tutoiement” in French. Before that, people higher up in the hierarchy should be called “vous” (a more formal way of saying “you” (“vous” is the plural form of “you”)), which is called “vouvoiement”, but this reform did not stay for very long since people were used to “vouvoiement”, and the first French republic was hated by everyone back in the time. Now we still call people higher up in the hierarchy “vous”, and people at the same place of lower “tu” as well as friends and family
I started learning Sweedish yesterday from Duolingo and frankly its hard😭 even tho it can be compared to english,it is a tricky language,that you gotta be careful with. Anyway Thank you for helping ❤
great video! i've been studying sweedish for one month and this video was super helpful. also, you could've say the pronoun hen as "they/them" in english which the singular neutral pronoun

Great! That is also a great way to remember :D
That’s exactly how I remember them too!!! I’m from California, and we use “hon” all the time!
for all german speakers, I always think of „Hahn“ (male version of a chicken) to distinguish between han och hon
Great mental trick! 😁
Especially because Huhn is to me mostly the female chicken in german so Hahn (male chicken) is han and Huhn (female chicken) is hon haha
Thanks for this varm smiling in all confuses that I faced learning plurals. I's cool when teacher know what can confuse in Language.

Haha, true. Didn't mean to offend the English language ;)
Sorry, I was just being silly. I know you weren’t being rude in any way. I was just being daft.

Oohhh, I come for one set of answers and get other questions 😅. How does "Jag gillar dig" compare with "Jag tycker om dig"?
They are very much the same. Synonims with different origins (becuase Swedes like to "borrow" words from everyone)

No difference in use. Both can be used interchangeably :)

what do the two dots on top of a mean?
The 2 dots are part of a different letter.
