Many Swedish words can have a different meanings like in the last one "MÃĨlbrottet"......"MÃĨl" can mean speech, goal, meal, target, dialect, and "brott(et)" can mean crime, fracture, breach, breaking and so on, so she did make it pretty hard for him! ð
MÃĨl means language, has always meant language, the meal and goal, are words that don't have the same etymological roots.
MÃĨl(speech) is from maðlÄ while mÃĨl(goal/meal) is from mÄlÄ . The first one meaning speech and the second one meaning measure. And yes it's cognate with the word mÃĪta.
And the word MÃķte is cognate with MÃĨl as in speech. Actually it's technically the same word.. well it's also cognate with the English word Mail, as in the postage mail.
@@livedandletdie While what you write here is true, none if it changes anything the original comment wrote, those words having different etymological roots doesent change the fact that when someone scores a goal people yell "MÃ Ã Ã Ã Ã Ã Ã L!". Or they have "ett mÃĨl mat" or another example, the word "gift" meaning both married and poisonous/venomous. Now some of the can be told apart because of our pitch dialect like "banan" meaning "banana" vs "banan" meaning "the track".
All they wrote was that some words in swedish have multiple meanings, which is absolutely true, they have to be differentiated between with pitch and/or context clues.
Everything they wrote is perfectly correct. These words having different etymylogical origins is completely irrelevant to the subject at hand.
I love comments like these, it makes me re-realise just how confusing Swedish can be, and how it adds flavour to a language when a word can have so many different meanings depending on pronunciation.
@@ohrusty She should have add a few more words that can be really confusing, like skalbagge = beetle/bug, but actually says "shell ram", and Ãķrngott = pillowcase but says "eagle good/tasty"! ðĪĢðĪĢ
â@@livedandletdieConfusing comment with "has always meant". It really makes no difference in this day and age. Very few people know about it at all, even if they may say (insert city name)-mÃĨl.
To be fair, the same goes for all Swedish homonyms. There is, of course, one of yours "has always meant", but again, it has little to no relevance today as they've turned into homonyms thus having several meanings.
MÃĨlbrottet do have all to do with the words. "MÃĨl" as in voice, speak and "brott" as in break.
very true, great explanation
"MÃĨl" is also a word we use in combination with place names to describe dialect/accent.
BondmÃĨl -farmer accent
LulemÃĨl - LuleÃĨ speak
@@magnus_norgren ð
Her 'exact' translations are horrible.
ðĪĢðĪĢ
As other have said "Goal Crime" isn't right. MÃĨlbrott to me would be "Speech break"
Hilarious mistake, though ð It makes no sense at all, and I love it
To be fair, saying that "MÃĨlbrottet" has to nothing to do with the partial words is not really true. "MÃĨl" is actually "speech" in this case (not "goal" ) although the form is a bit archaic (still used in Norwegian though). And "brottet" is "breaking". Good job on that one.
Yep, the reason she says it doesn't make sense isn't because it doesn't, it's because she doesn't know the secondary meaning of mÃĨl. That, or she doesn't wish to acknowledge the older meaning.
English has it's own variety of green things.. Greens.. (which is an older english word for vegetables that comes from norse)
My favourite directly translated word is flappymouse (fladdermus) wich ofcourse means bat :)
and related to LÃĪderlappen (Leather patch) , who is of course Batman.
@@robertlovlie5194 henceforth batman shall be known as Flappymouseman
How is it a worm he asks..
HOW IS IT A LION?!
The flower itself kinda looks like a stylized lion's mane. And the thick stem is kinda worm like. I'm just guessing.
Edit: I was wrong. Swedish word comes from the fact that thrip larvae is very common in the flower. And the meaning of the english word (also common in European countries) is "lion's teeth" (the english word is taken from french). And the idea comes from it's thin, "sharp" petals
I am also thinking mask in maskros could also mean mask? (as in a masked rose)
My favorite word to translate straight over is "Soppatorsk" - "Soup Cod" xD
"Torsk" as in "torska" though, to lose, to be out of
Tbf sÃĨ ÃĪr soup failure ocksÃĨ ganska kul â@@DaP84
It's not goal crime. MÃĨl can mean goal, but in this case its meaning is "speech". And brott can mean crime, but in this case it means "breakage". So speech breakage. In fact "brott" in the sense of crime comes from "lagbrott", i.e. "law breakage".
Fyrkant = Square
Trekant/Triangel = Triangle
TvÃĨhÃķrning/Linje = Line
EnhÃķrning = one corner-rer.
fyrkant = Quadrilateral
kvadrat = square
MÃĨlbrottet -Goal crime is phonetic correct translated but its wrong mening of it.
Language break would be better.
MÃĨl can be a goal but in this word its an old way of saying sprÃĨk=language.
Brottet kan be crime but also means where something has brocken off.
More like voicebreak
@@johan.ohgren Or speech breach.
Bad direct translation of âMÃĨlbrottetâ. MÃĨl also means speach. Brott also means break. Speach-break.
well they are all bad translations, thats the point of the video, if they were corrctly translated it would just be english words, goal is the first translation that comes to mind for mÃĨl
My favourite is the english word "pet". In swedish its "husdjur " house animal" in one word. I think it sounds cute.
Pet untranslated is also poke and sexual fondling just as in English. And a semi-professional office computer of the 80:s.
@@johankaewberg8162 PET is also plastic bottles. (Polyetentereftalat)
@@magnusnilsson9792 Confirmed.
Dandelion is called Worm Rose because there are often small larvae from an insect called Thrips in the flower of the dandelion and they look like small worms.
They are callled worm rose... Because when you pull up a dandelion.. There will often be lots of worms.. so if you are gonna go fishing.. And need bait.. Just pull up a dandelion plant with the whole root and you should easily find some worms.
The last word was staged to her advantage, she's cheating. The word "mÃĨl" (not mÃĪl, btw) means four things. It means Goal, target, lingustic and meal. You can literally say "Mitt mÃĨl ritar mitt mÃĨl, och talar sitt modersmÃĨl medan han ÃĪter mellanmÃĨl" which means "My target paints my goal, and speaks his mothertongue while he's eating a snack". She chose one of the incorrect ones to make it harder. :'D. The word "brott" also means breaking/mining, as in a "gruvbrott" means like a mine (for minerals). It also means "crime". She's riding on technicalities, and this is why some languages can be so confusing as many words can mean different things :'D. She also says "It doesn't make sense" but it does, it LITERALLY means "Linguistic break" which it does, you voice breaks when you speak. It makes PERFECT sense.
One funny thing is if you split the word in two words "MÃĨl" and "Brott(et)" and switch them around, you get something totally different...."brottsmÃĨl" = "criminal case". ð
It's interesting watching you repeat swedish words. When you said "GrÃķnsaker", you say it with accent of a south east swedish area, maybe around "Kalmar". There they always drop the "R" at the end of words. You said "GrÃķnsake" wich they would do there. So you will fit in to "Kalma". MÃĨlbrottet is a tricky translation because you can translate in several ways. (Goal Crime) but also means (Speech interuption/break).
I think should be translated speech + break. Old Swedish words that Evelina probably doesnât know. Much easier to guess what it means.
Hi from a swedenð love your videos as always. I had to look up why it is called thain Maskros in Swedish. The Swedish name Maskros/Dondelion comes from the fact that there are often thrips larvae - "worms" - in the flower that feed on its pollen. The name was first used in 1802 in the book Swedish Botany. In several European countries the plant is called dandelion.
Already in the Middle Ages, goose began to be used for things that seemed to bob on the surface. It could be lumps during butter churning or the white foam of wave tops. But the dish came to be called sandwiches in the plural while the wave crests like the birds are called geese.
Kiwis are New Zelanders, it's a nickname oroginating in the first world war, New Zealand soldiers were called Kiwis and it just stuck
Yeah Worm Rose is really strange. But now I figured it out. The stem looks like a worm standing up straight and the flower in top of it, like rose...
Thought so too. But it comes from the fact that thrip larvae is very common living in the flower
unicorn also translates from latin into english as uni (one) corn (antler)...
Kiwi is a word for people from New Zeeland. So I guess she meant a classic dish from New Zeeland.
In the beginning you had alot of pepper in the gingerbread...therefore Pepparkaka.
All spices where called pepper
MÃĨl, in this case, means "Dialect" and brott, in this case, means "Break". Well done for getting that!
more like 'speech'
@@thehoogard In the case of "mÃĨlbrott", yes, but in general, "mÃĨl" means "Dialect".
One could say it's "the way you speak", or "the sound of your voice", but like "Speech impediment" would never be called "Speech"
@@matshjalmarsson3008 No, it would be dialect only if you add a qualifier to it, such as 'dalmÃĨl'. The same thing happens with 'modersmÃĨl', in which instance you're referring to a language instead.
@@thehoogard That may be true for some areas, but in my experience, sentences like "pratar du mÃĨl?", "no?, then I'll speak Swedish" are common.
Either way, it's not important to the subject.
@@thehoogard Or a better example, "MÃĪn momma, du veit ju att han int ferstÃĨ mÃĨl! Du mÃĨst praat Svenska till han"
How about sengÃĨngare, or late walker. A very curious animal. There are so many funny one's like that. :P
Sinew walker
@@magnusnilsson9792 You could interpret it as that, but in this case I think late walker is more fitting, considering the animal. :)
Dwayne clearly has a talent for language learning. He seems to see patterns and be good at guessing from both structure and context. But the original video was a bit unhelpful - misspelled words and mixed up meanings. It's much more fun to learn a language informally, by ordinary speakers, than from a teacher in a classroom, but a teacher would have got those things right and would also have been able to add some useful background lÂīknowledge, for example that the word for "Rose" in any European language could once also be used to mean "flower" in general, and the word for "pepper" in at least the Germanic languages could once be used to mean "spice" in general. "Maskros" means "worm flower" and "pepparkaka" means "spice biscuit". And I'm of course a huge nerd, and language matters are my drug -ð
Duo be like
Great workðĶ
Pepparkaka probably got its name because people in ancient times could not always distinguish between the spices, but dominant names came to be used in a rather broad sense. A strongly spiced cake was then named. From the cake's name it is clear that it often contained pepper in the past. The name can also be explained by the fact that pepper used to be the popular name for all exotic spices. Plus I heard from a TV program a few years ago that people thought it was good/useful for one to eat.
Kryddpeppar is in the dough.
Lot of recipes for gingerbread cookies still have pepper as an ingredient. The recipe that I use definitely has.
Maskros do not translate to worm rose, it translates to bug rose. The word mask was in older times used the same way as bug is used in English, for all small insects and other stuff. So, it is a bug rose, and the reason for that is that it is very common to find thrips in the flowers. A kind of bug I assume.
I thought it was mask as a mask you put on your face.
@@Sam_Guevenne Nope, it is mask as in bugs. Note that mask is both singular and plural in this case, or rather neither. It is like sand.
If it is a face mask, then the plural is masker.
If it is a worm, then the plural is maskar.
You have a swedish soul, love thatâĪïļâĪïļðļðŠ
Yet another ðļðŠ here. Hehe, one of the reasons why many of these words seem strange is of course that several are quite old. An example is "smÃķrgÃĨs". At first, a âsmÃķrgÃĨsâ was the butter lumps that floated to the surface when churning butter the old-fashioned way (something white that floatsð). It was used in expressions like a bread slice with âsmÃķrgÃĨsâ, which was eventually shortened to âsmÃķrgÃĨsâ alone.
Another word that can be explained in a similar way is "maskros". The âwormsâ were the small black thrips that are often found among the petals of the flower.
Donât forget that Swedish actually is quite much older than English and over time has been much less affected by other European languages ââ(mainly by German but also Latin and to some extent French and in modern times of course English).
Hi, from what I heard, the word SmÃķrgÃĨs comes from when it is windy on the ocean and the water is making small white tops all over that looks like geese and the Swedish expression, (Det gÃĨr gÃĪss pÃĨ sjÃķn). So when you put butter on bread you make the same like waterlike tops with the butter and that is why it is called Butter Goose (SmÃķrgÃĨs)
@@Guldbullen Nope! Official ethymology SAOB (Swedish Academy Dictionary)
Savory... ''Saftig'' is close you could probably use that, it's juicy more accurately though.
Goal crime? That's how she would translate mÃĨlbrott? Some words have several meanings, and it does make sense.
MÃĨl also means voice or language
Brott also means breaking
I think Swedes do not generally know what a sandwich. SmÃķrgÃĨs is typically an open-faced sandwich, i.e., not actually a sandwich.
She translated "mÃĨlbrottet" wrong, she didn't reflect on original meaning of the word composition. That's why it doesn't make sense. "MÃĨl in this context is old Swedish for speech/voice/(language/accent) etc. And "brott" in this context is breakage. So it actually makes perfect sense
MÃĨlbrottet is not just for males. The larynx grows larger and vocal chords becomes longer and the voice deepens in both males and females.
The larynx grows larger in males than females and that's why men have a more visible adam's apple.
She either translated MÃĨlbrott wrong on purpose to make it virtually impossible, or she isn't that good at Swedish ð
A lot of words mean several things in Swedish. MÃĨl for example could be both goal and refering to a dialect, like in Dalarna they speak "DalmÃĨl". Same thing with brott. Brott can mean crime, but it can also mean that something is broken, like a bone, in which case it's called "benbrott". So a more fair trainslation would be maybe "dialect break" or "tongue break" with the added explanation of break not meaning pause but something breaking. So she basically took one of the litteral translations that was the furthest away, making it virtually impossible to guess ð
Her swedish is very immature and lacks the sense of nuances in the meaning of a lot of the words.
Maskrosor, the word mask isn't only worm but is also the same as in English.
I would have said masked rose. It probably wouldn't help him, but the literal meaning would be closer to the Swedish word.
The testicles drop first.. And then when the testicles are the right temperature.. Slightly less than the rest of the body.. They start producing testosterone.. If they don't drop.. The testosterone proficiency drops. a lot. To the point that there can be problems and sometimes you will have a delayed puberty.. That is why at around 11-12 the doctor check up he will feel the scrotum and ask you to cough.. To check and see if they have dropped..
This is hilarious ðĪĢ love the vid! Thanks for watching âĪïļ
Some other non roses that are called - ros are water-lily, sunflower, hollyhock, rosebay willowherb, toothwort, pee on snow, shingles. ð
And Evelina is very pretty. Lucky bf.
Unicorns are actually rhinos. It's an ancient misconception. Unicorn is latin for "one horn". People had heard of four legged one horned creatures in far off lands and imagination "evolved" it to the unicorn we know from folk lore.
3:00 "Kiwi" aka New Zealander, just a slang word like "red neck", aussie, brit and so on. It's easier to say than new zealander.
What you dont understand is that other countries has an own language. The world is much bigger than you ever will understand.
MÃĨl can refer to accent or speak in general. Brott could kinda refer to a break through. She made it a bit difficult ð
My two cents: rose, because its beautiful, worm because it just to hardyâĶ
It's called maskros because of the larva that lives and feed on the pollen of the flower.
Back in the days, when spices were a novelty in Sweden, most spices were called pepper
Wait what? Do all of us Swedish vievers owe you a Swedish meal now? As you got it right.
just wanna add that saying your balls have droped is after while mÃĨlbrottet is during so not really the same
Nononoo not goal crime mÃĨl is speek or language as Well and brott is crime and break so speek crack should be the translation.
Iron road would be jÃĪrnvÃĪg, not tÃĨgrÃĪls, the latter just means train tracks
pepprercaca lol that is how you pronounce it
it is funny and ok
You are so swedishð! Love youre reactions on our motherlandâĪ
And "MÃĨlbrottet" is one of these swedish words that will not have a clear definition in english, so that was definitely one of the toughest words she could've chosen for a video like this. :P
3:51 shocked when you guessed that one
also why is she saying iron road? TÃĨg is not iron. This video is kind of pissing me off xD
EnhÃķrning does not at all directly translate to one antler... Honestly ye horn could work but hÃķrn is corner so one corner is more like it.
Same thing with tÃĨgrÃĪls.
Not Iron Road at all.
Direct translation would be Train Rail.
However, she was probably thinking of JÃĪrnvÃĪg because that is Iron Road.
No, "hÃķrning" in this word is "hornad" like having horns.
"One-horn" would work.
You mean like noshÃķrning meaning nose-corner? HÃķrning can both relate to corner and horn.
MÃĨlbrottet happenes to girls to but it's not as deep but they get it to!
Try to link to the original video?
Dandelion, it's the stem you mean with the worm, it's also slimy inside.
He's definitely cheating
In her defense, cus everyone are commenting about this, almost no one nowdays use the word "mÃĨl" to refer to language or speech. It's basically used as goal accept when you refer to a few dialecs like "dalamÃĨl". The word "brott" is similar cus nowadays most people say it as crime, and also when you break stone or a bone. Allso if you flip it there is a world called brottsmÃĨl, wich means criminal case. Wait maybe mÃĨl means case too... idk my language is weird
It is absolutely commonly used in the meaning "speech" or "language". For dialects as you've already mentioned. ModersmÃĨl is a very common word. MÃĨlbrott as mentioned in the video, or to be "mÃĨllÃķs". A less obvious one is "mÃĨlsman", the person who speaks on your behalf.

08:10 the stalk
She first said the word "tÃĨgrÃĪls" which literally means train track. Would not be to hard to figure that oneð
Actually âârÃĪlsâ is an early loan word from English ârailsâ
I don't like these kinds of challenges, because the Swedes always mistake the etymology for some reason (even though I think it almost always should be obvious) and translates the meaning wrong. "MÃĨlbrott" as "goal crime" may be the dumbest one I've heard so far.
MÃĨlbrott could also literally mean "voice break" with old words rarely used
With quite common words, I'd say. Having "mÃĨl i mun" or speeking "dalmÃĨl" are still used, just as speaking "frÃĪmmande tungomÃĨl". "Brott" meaning "breach" also is common, as in "benbrott", "avbrott", and "brottstycke".
As many have already pointed out, her direct translations often used the wrong meaning in cases where a word can mean different things. For âmÃĨlbrottâ Iâd probably go with tongue breakage, as mÃĨl is used in the same way as modersmÃĨl = mother tongue
Good job here! ð
Hej jag heter Hannes
Savory is more or less a bit salty or "tasteful"/aromatic in Swedish, Quick search for English synonyms and its makes a bit more sense maybe . We would simple just put it as salt(salty) since its opposite of sÃķtt (sweet).
They do add pepper in some old swedish gingerbread recipes.. But yeah.. It is more of the spiciness as a whole.. A peppery cookie..
So impressed about the "mÃĨlbrott" that you got it..
Voice breaking is correct!! You nailed it!
no one says smÃķrgÃĨs. We say ''macka''
savory = Matig
"goal crime" is horribly bad translation. It should be something like "voice break".
MÃĨl= Speech
Brott= fracture
Yeah the origin for "smÃķrgÃĨs" is really wierd, I mean it means sandwich, but for some reason we use a compound word meaning "buttergoose" haha XD
Someone once thought the butter on the bread looked like a goose.
@@magnusnilsson9792 Actually, they thought that the butter floating on the milk looked like geese. That's the butter put on bread, and thus eventually giving name to the whole sandwich.
Well done!
Maskros (worm rose) has this name because of the larvae that lives on the flower and consume the nectar.
oh really, i had no idea. i just tought something like worms are not a highly valued animal, they live in soil, maskrosor also live in soil and are not highly valued XD (eddie meduza - ingen plockar en maskros)
@@audhumbla6927 Larver till blÃĨsfotingar om mitt minne ej sviker mig.
EnhÃķrning would translate to "one angle", not "one antler". HÃķrning means angle like in triangle. She's confused hÃķrning for horn which does mean horn/antler.
Incorrect. A "hÃķrning" is something with horns. In Swedish and English alike the word "corner" or "hÃķrna" comes from the word for horn, just like unicorn ("one horn").
@@Gwaerondor I did not know that. I guess I stand corrected.
MÃĨlbrott (mÃĨl-brott).. I f she used other synonymes It should be ..speech-crack. Because mÃĨl is an old namn for speech. ( In an language).Like bokmÃĨl- the Writing text in Danish/ Norwegian language..(bookspeech) .. the crack language teenager have when they grow up.ðthen it should be easier to understand.
You are guessing good?âĪ
Correct me if Iâm wrong but doesnât girls and boys get âmÃĨlbrottâ?
Watched two seconds more and she mentions it. âMÃĨlbrottetâ describes your vocal cords getting longer and itâs not just for dramatic changes in your voice.
New Zeelanders are called Kiwis.
EnhÃķrning is NOT one antler, its one corner, if it whould be something like one antler it whould more be like Enhorning, and thats more like one horn.
Rhino is noshÃķrning (nose-horn-ing). HÃķrning can refer to both something/someone with a horn (sw. Horn) and a corner (sw. HÃķrn).
The English word rhino actually also means nose-horn-y, though borrowed from Greek.
