Tjena mors! cracked me up. Not very common expression in Sweden nowadays, but it was fun hearing Malin use it. I always say "Hej på `re...tjockis!" ;-)
"Hi, we are here with Malin Akermann, who was born in Sweden, has Swedish parents and in case you don't know...SHE CAN ACTUALLY SPEAK SWEDISH!!!" NO SHIT, I THOUGHT HER MOTHER LANGUAGE WAS PORTUGUESE. Why would you be surprised if a person who has swedish parents and was born in Sweden could speak swedish?
Well the US Weekly is an American show and they have to cater to average American. Average American TV viewer. Not saying to "dumb it down" but you get the idea.
Lisa Huhtala Not at all, I'm fluent in Swedish but I studied it for a while and girl it isn't hard, maybe the pronunciation is a little tricky but nothing impossible and the grammar is quite simple, try Spanish and then tell me :)
Im from Sweden and that she said was not exactly. Hi, how's it going: Hej, hur går det? or Hej, hur är det? Girl, bye: Hejdå tjejen! Jag älskar dig was right Malin have a fantastic swedish four not live in Sweden that long and the words she said was good answers but not just on your questions just my opinion who has live in Sweden my whole life❤
Fast nu är det väl så att hon inte översätter ordagrant utan mer innebörden i det. "How's it going?" är lite "Hur är läget?" som hälsningsfras, så "Tjena Mors" som hälsningsfras är ju inte helt fel, sen att hon väljer "Tjena mors" istället för något annat lär ju ha att göra med att hon väljer någots om är lite svåruttalat för en amerikan för att jävlas lite. Sen säger hon ju också att hon väljer en mening som är mer "Get out of here!" som just i humoristiskt "Håll käften" eller "Nä men sluta!". Tror snarare det är du som är lite ute och cyklar när du väljer att se de ordagranna betydelserna av det hon översätter och inte hur det används i språk. Det är lite som "dra alla över en kam", du kan inte översätta det till "pull everyone over a comb" på engelska utan då blir det "Tar everyone with the same brush" som på svenska skulle betyda "Tjära alla med samma borste". Eller "Fy fan" som blir typ "Boo satan", medan det snarare ska översättas till "Holy Shit" eller liknande (om man ska bibehålla religiösa undertonen). Ska vi i sin tur översätta Holy shit till svenska så blir det Helig skit, vilket ju inte riktigt blir samma sak. Samma sak här med de här fraserna, hon tar de som är mer eller mindre "matchande" på svenska med underbetydelsen av meningen, inte det som det är ordagrant...
Idag lärde jag mig att jag tydligen är så aspig att jag inte bör befinna mig i allmänna utrymmen eftersom jag semiregelbundet använder mig av uttrycket "tjena mors".
RZAJW gammalt uttryck. Klassisk 70-talsslang, typ. Vissa använder inte det längre, medan andra fortfarande gör det. Min mormor kallar tex fortfarande föräldrar för päron. Det är lite olika, men generellt tror jag det kanske kan vara en lite yngre publik som tittar. De är kanske mer vana att mormor/farmor eller farfar/morfar säger såna, eller liknande, saker/uttryck. Men det är bara min tanke. 🤔 Du får ha en fortsatt trevlig dag iaf. ☺️☺️ kram från Doglover (frivillig, inget måste att ta emot, men ah, kram om du vill) 🤗🤗😊😊 👍👍
WTF... Always fucking Helan går with this one. Can't she just... sing the National Anthem or a Gyllene Tider song or just any fucking ABBA song in Swedish.
WTF HAHAHA!!! I am Swedish, even tho I moved from Sweden over 10 years ago I certainly haven't forgot how to speak Swedish, she clearly has! "Hi, how's it going" is NOT "Tjena mors" you say "Hej, hur gar det" which is the exact translation or you can say "Hej hur ar laget" which has the same meaning. "Girl bye" is NOT "sluta" sluta means STOP. You say "hejdå tjejen". "Girl bye" isn't something we say in Sweden The only thing She got right was how to say "i love you"
In English the snapsvisa "Helan Går" sounds something like this: "Hell and gore, Chung hop father Allan ley, Hell and gore, Chung hop father Allan ley, Oh handsome in the hell and tar, hand hell are in the half and four, Hell and gore, Chung hop father Allan ley!"
If that is not correct, what is the alternative phase? Edit: disregard, saw answer below…. “Laget.” I don’t get why her term was so offensive even if it’s old fashioned. Just curious.
"Tjena mors"? I have no idea why she chose such a phrase, because it sounds like something someone would say in a Swedish slapstick movie from the 1940's. lol
Somehow the Swedish drinking song got a whole new meaning in english xD. Basically if you would directly translate the Swedish song it would be something like Helan går (the whole is walking). Which doesn't really work to be honest. But in short the song is telling you that you need to drink the whole glass/empty your glass and your not allowed to drink less, since unless you empty your glass your not allowed to drink from it. So translating it as drinking the first makes no sense for me at least. Then again I am Swedish so there might be something I am missing here.
@@nordscan9043 Jag är faktiskt något osäker på det då goes eller go betyder en hel del olika saker. Ramsan som jag är van vid är "Helan går och halvan åker radiobil" eller bara "helan går". Sen är översättningen the whole is walking inte helt fel då grund ordet gå betyder både go, walk osv på engelska. beror dock på sammanhanget. Men igen sången jag är van vid poängterar att Helan "går" alltså walking men goes är ett väldigt brett ord med många olika betydelser när de översätts. Sen tycker jag att walking låter roligare än goes. Många säger dock att de ska översättas som "the whole goes (down)". Att addera "thing" är inte heller rätt även om jag håller med att det kanske borde adderas i översättningen men då borde den egentligen vara "the whole thing goes down" det förstör dock något av ramsan.
Why Swedes are good at English: Swedish is a natural language which means it's the easiest for the tounge to pronounce natually, which gives Swedes the ability to easily adapt other accents using different parts of the mouth/tounge to pronounce words with. And also the Swedish education system involves really high levels of Swedish compared to most other countries.
What the fuck are you going on about? The reason why Swedes are good at English is not some magical psudeo-linguistic property of Swedish but a high level of education, daily exposure to English, and a English and Swedish both being Germanic languages with a large shared vocabulary and similar grammar.
The biggest reason is that we don't have shitty dubbing for everything and so much media in English, even Swedish commercials and songs by Swedish artists are in English.
@@justinjohnson1766 i'm English and have studied swedish in Stockholm and it is, in less obivious at first ways, - e.g. -prata is linked to prattle, egga is to egg someone on, hitta is to hit upon something (find)
@@bloomoggi Agreed. I just started learning Svenska (pronounciation is a little tricky but I am 40% almost majority Swedish, so I am grasping the back tongue vocal technique) about a few months ago. And it is soooo much easier then New English or old (standard) English haha.
Pia Sundström och Magnus Åkerman låter inte riktigt som kanadensare :P Alltså, båda föräldrarna är svenska ;) (Därav att hon tar Pia som exempel i denna video också)
BS! I'm fluent in swedish... The other three people are foreign students in Sweden that already know some swedish... SLUTA means END IT! or Finish it, Forget it... and Åkerman pronounced Wolkerman means Walker like Jonny Walker. Åker is a verb like Go or go to. Åkerman (the going man).
Just FYI, "åker" can also refer to a field (as in arable land), which would make her surname translate to something like "field-man/farmer-man" which to me as a native Swedish speaker makes way more sense. Not to be picky or anything man =P

hahahah jag tänkte precis kommentera det
Haha.. I totally agree!
Visserligen flyttade hon till Kanada när hon var 2 år.. så hon är lite ursäktad.
how do you say that?
matt 1910b "Hej, hur är det?" Would be alot better

I was wondering how I as a Norwegian had never heard of the expression "tjena mors" before.. Guess the comment section answered that for me. :p
Tjena mors??????
I think her folks are from a different village than your village... (no offence)
Masht Ali you don't say "mors" at the end....never.
What does "mors" mean?
Lodbrok the word ''mors' itself doesn't mean anything, it only mean something when used with 'tjena'
But based on what I´ve read here if I say tjena mors in Sweden I´ll come across as an idiot, right?
Maahlinn Ackermenn :)
No one ever says TJENA MORS in Sweden! Maybe in back the seventies, but definitely not these days! lol
What is she talking about "not a simple language" ? If you know English it's super easy.
Maybe shes thinking of all Americans asking about the language and most of them having trouble with pronounciation
No, Swedish is actually one of the hardest languages to learn because of how we pronounce things!
I'm Swedish btw
Lisa Huhtala Not at all, I'm fluent in Swedish but I studied it for a while and girl it isn't hard, maybe the pronunciation is a little tricky but nothing impossible and the grammar is quite simple, try Spanish and then tell me :)
