I just wanted to say Thank God for these videos! I have been using the Duolingo app to learn Swedish but it's only really taught me how to read the language. These videos may be the difference between my learning Swedish words and how to actually use them to talk! These video's have really helped me understand the language more quickly. So to anyone who reads these comments before they watch the video... I recommend Erik Edler's lessons. Tack Erik! Jag pratar lite svenska!
I have tried several teachers and I like the way you explain it. I am attempting to learn swedish in attempt to save my memory, stimulate my brains. I find understanding german is a great help and some of our UK words have obviously come from the nordic languages.
Car: Bil? How can I ever remember THAT? I checked the etymology and it says its a "clipping" of automoBIL. Easy! I can remember that! Stol: Chair?? German Stuhl, English Stool. If you can follow the etymology, it becomes a lot easier! Woman: en kvinna. Queen? Girl: flicka??? (wictionary) it stems from Norwegian flikkja, "light-hearted or irresponsible woman", and flikkja, "hussy; tramp; slut". English cognate: "flake"? Even if it isn't right, that does make it more memorable. I love to see the common roots between the languages I know.
Zacharie Nadeau Actually, Swedish combines the masculine and feminine genders into a single gender known as "common," which takes the article "en" and for which adjectives take no ending in the singular. The other gender in Swedish (which Spanish does NOT have) is neuter, which takes the article "ett" and for which adjectives take a "t" (sometimes a "tt") ending in the singular (by the way, all adjectives take "a" for their ending in the plural regardless of the gender of the nouns they modify).
+Lee Cox I am a native Spanish speaker and I'm having big trouble with Swedish pronunciation haha. Is really people interested in learning Spanish? I've never heard of someone who wants to at least try to learn it :(
Similar to French. We have feminine and masculine words, and there's really no way of knowing until you memorize. There are some tricks, but they're not always accurate. Jag pratar lite Svenska. I would love to visit Sweden one day and be able to communicate fluently.
What is the use of those two genders? How do they help communication? Similarly, when do you append the gender preposition? When does it make sense to say bilen vs. en bil?
Very likeable teacher! Almost apologetic/guilty when he comes to the tricky aspects of Swedish! Maybe try identifying ‘ett’ and ‘en’ as feminine and masculine nouns. This would help relate them to many other languages, and to distinguish between them.
Boa noite Amigo! Voçê poderia explicar em espanhol, pois há muitos brasileiros que gostam do seu idioma. Não sei se voçê fala fala português, se voçê não fala português, em espanhol geralmente brasileiros entendem muito. Obrigado
Man... saying 2 is one of the hardest, also the way I as in ¨I´ (in) and ¨Bil¨ (car) is very different from other languages, if you notice a scratch at 1:32 it´s me from rewinding, Ursäkta!
+Erik Edler I am so happy you answered 😃 I think you would pick up German quite fast because your fluent in Swedish 😉 maybe Barbara (I think thats her name, if not I apologize) can help you!
This may be a silly question, but what is the official language in Switzerland? Is it Swedish or a mixture of that and German?? I am taking a trip there next year. I am from the US.
Hi, In Sweden they speak Swedish and in Switzerland it depends. Switzerland has a few official languages including German, French and Italian. I would be surprised if anyone in Switzerland could speak Swedish!
+Towhid hasan There's no pattern. You literally have to learn it with the noun. I'm trying to learn too. I think it might be more difficult than english lol
+landofold If it's plural definite form, the tables, it's "borden", ending with "en". I didn´t include plural definite in the video, but now I added an annotation in the end of the video.

I’m really enjoying your videos. My husband speaks Swedish to my kids, so I like to listen to your videos to supplement my learning of Swedish.

i love the swedish accent tbh and i really like your eyes
what a beautiful language

This video makes it much easier to remember. Tack Erik!
The most amazing class, I love it

Video je odličan!
Svaki ti je video odličan!
learn swedish they said, it's easier then spanish they said
I'm a native german speaker and I thought it could be fun. But guess what - the struggle is real. :S
+Doodberry Kermin It actually is easier. Wait until he covers verbs, and you'll see just how much easier it is! :-)
In spanish there is the *femenino and the *masculino. That is the hardest i guess it's the same thing in svenska

Handsome teacher ♥
Ett words do change in plural when the last letter of the noun ends in a vowel. For example, en äpple, flera äpplen.
Jeg snakker norsk og svensk høres ut som man snakker med en stein i munnen :*D Mange takk allikevel!

Similarly, when do you append the gender preposition? When does it make sense to say bilen vs. en bil?
Very good
Tack för tipset!

Tack så mycket 💝
My favorit Word in Swedish is glitter or glänsa
Thank you !
thanks
That rule with nouns (ett/en) is kinda easy for me, 'cause in german we have even three types of that... (der/die/das)
Man... saying 2 is one of the hardest, also the way I as in ¨I´ (in) and ¨Bil¨ (car) is very different from other languages, if you notice a scratch at 1:32 it´s me from rewinding, Ursäkta!
Haha! Yeah I know, many struggle with these.
Thanks, please keep on posting! your channel and your explaining is of great help and very insightful, really liked the street walks
tack så mycket :0
its so hard ... when it comes in plural and indefinite form !!!!!!!!!
How can I distinguish between Swedish and international nouns before translating?
Hello! Have you tried learning German? Because I speak German and I understood ALOT of what you said without having to see the writing.
That's awesome! I know a tiny bit but it would be fun to learn more!
+Erik Edler I am so happy you answered 😃 I think you would pick up German quite fast because your fluent in Swedish 😉 maybe Barbara (I think thats her name, if not I apologize) can help you!
Crystal Lautner jo des Stimmt
Of course if you say 'två hus' it's obvious that it's plural. But is there a way to make it clear that it's plural in the sentence 'I see houses'?
I'm from Finland just One month ago I had came
Ett/en (A)
thankssssssssssssssssssssss
This may be a silly question, but what is the official language in Switzerland? Is it Swedish or a mixture of that and German?? I am taking a trip there next year. I am from the US.
Hi, In Sweden they speak Swedish and in Switzerland it depends. Switzerland has a few official languages including German, French and Italian. I would be surprised if anyone in Switzerland could speak Swedish!
Why is “en knvinna” become “kvinnan”? Is it just irregular?
Beautiful eyes😍👏
why there is not any specific rolls for how to use en/ett ??
+Towhid hasan There's no pattern. You literally have to learn it with the noun. I'm trying to learn too. I think it might be more difficult than english lol
+Eric Zaksauskas yep and german has 3 of them ; Die Der and Das
Jag trodde att 'ett' orden har 'en' på sitt slut.att bli plural.
+landofold
If it's plural definite form, the tables, it's "borden", ending with "en". I didn´t include plural definite in the video, but now I added an annotation in the end of the video.
+Erik Edler
Åh, så man säga "de två borden" men "två bord".
Tack för förklarar.
+landofold
Ja precis!
("man säger" eller "man kan säga")
sometimes it's difficult to follow I have to play it over and over again xD
+Alvaro Gonzalez Menendez I agree that the video is quite fast... but... more plays more fun! ;)
Again, I love your videos Erik, but you go way too fast.
Vänligen Jag vill att du din Instagram eller Twitter namn ger mig eftersom du ser bra och väl menar jag mycket bra❤️❤️😩😩😩
Jag är svensk varför är jag här ens?
