      Watching several lesson here in youtube it helpin' me a lot, yes I surprises him at the same time that I can write and speak a little bit now and probably not as good as how my vowels pronunciation as he hardly heared my soft vowels😊.

    Det mest fascinerande med detta är att man/jag som svensk ofta korrigerar talad svenska till skriftlig svenska i mitt eget huvud. Jag kunde svära på att jag och andra svenskar talar mer skriftligt än vad som faktiskt visas i denna video, men när man faktiskt reflekterar över talad svenska så inser man att den skiljer sig mer signifikant än vad man trott från skriven svenska. Det är verkligen som om hjärnan aktivt och automatiskt korrigerar de ljud som objektivt existerar

    Finally got around to watching this (discord squad, yayy!) This was very comprehensive, thank you. I think last year I would have been confused and overwhelmed by all this, but now that I have many hours watching SVT, listening to ljudböcker på svenska, och pratar med Svensk vänner, I have picked up on almost all of these patterns of reductions and already emulate many of them in my own speech. It really is true that the best way to become fluent is to just immerse yourself in the language and you will naturally pick up the accents and the dialects of the natives.

    Absolutely in (American) English pretty much works the same way. We pronounce the S as an S. (ab-so-lute-lee)... but it gets reduced to a P sound and the O becomes more like a U. (app-suh-lute-lee). As an American, we get told we speak "lazy English," so I'm glad to see there is lazy Swedish, too, LOL!

    @HorusNikopol 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    So if the imperfect drops the -de, and the perfect drops the -t, and the perfect also often drops the auxiliary "har" in subordinate clauses - I guess "Jag studerade" without the -de, "Jag har studerat" without -t (and the har assimilated to the jag or just disappearing entirely in a subordinate clause), and the present "Jag studerar", if one does not articulate the R significantly - all sound virtually identical??? That is terrifyingly confusing. But great video as always!

    • @xolang
      @xolang ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually in quite a few major languages the verbs don't change based on tenses.
      My father tongue, spoken by over 300 mio. people, is like that. and then you have Chinese which is spoken by over a billion people.
      Usually the context is enough. So we say something like:
      Yesterday I study.
      I study three hour ago (notice as well how we don't say "hourS" since three is obviously already plural, thus making an -s redundant.).
      I already study (which would mean like "I have studied").
      To a question like "What exactly do we do three week ago?", you can easily answer: We meet, you pick I up at my place, and then we drive together, we go hiking, etc. Because we know it take place three week ago.

    This is great. Fun language. However, maybe Swedish and English need a modern orthographic "reset" where all the universally unpronounced letters just get dropped, and spelling gets more phonetic, so people trying to learn the language don't go nuts. The English and some northern Americans are non rhotic (they drop their rs). But in Shakespeare's day they hit all the rs hard, sounding like pirates.

    • @sayitinswedish

    I have a question about Swedish verbs.
    Is ta/dra/trä/va short for taga/draga/träda/vara?
    The dictionary lists ta/dra/trä as the infinitive, but also lists taga/draga/träda as one of the inflections.
    But what is taga? Another form of the infinitive?
    Is va short for vara?
    According to the dictionary, va is short for vad, not vara.
    But va seems also to be short for vara...

    • @sayitinswedish
      @sayitinswedish  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You are right, generally the long forms are older and less used. "Va" however is only a spoken version of "vara" and isn't used in writing.

      Reductions also means that sounds are lost within a word. Not only vowels. Also contractions are a part of that. Elision is just a part of the video.

    Enligt Henke Rosenkvist är "å" i t.ex. jag gillar å spela fotboll ett eget ord separat från "och" och "att". Jag kommer inte ihåg dock om han ansåg att använda "att" där istället är importerat från den skrivna svenskan som ganska mycket annat i modern svenska eller ifall båda har använts sedan långt tillbaka. Han pratade om det i ett avsnitt av "språket" för 1-2 år sedan.

      De andra nordiska språken uttalar också i alla fall "och" som "å" så det är ju näraliggande att anta att det bara är k/g - ljuden som försvunnit här. Vad gäller om "å" är ett eget ord här vet jag inte men viktigt här är bara för en språkinlärare att förstå att det är olika ord som låter likadant oavsett ursprung. Jag har förövrigt lyssnat på säkert över hälften av avsnitten den här veckan men något sådant har jag inte hört än.

      These are not only Stockholm reductions and I'm sure you use more of these than you think. They are not really considered a bit sloppy no. Try and record yourself and have a listen. You'd be surprised.
      With that said, it's true that reductions vary between dialects.

  • @РодіонПопов
    @РодіонПопов 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just to make sure: you said that "att" is reduced to "å" only as an infinitive marker. So is it correct that you never reduce "att" in the meaning of "that"? So in "Jag vet att du mår bättre" att is always pronounced as "att", not "å"?
    But as the infinitive marker, can it be reduced when followed/preceded by vowels and especially in an intervocal position? Something like "det var brA_Att träffas" or "det var brA_ATT_Åka dit" (if my phrases are correct:). Will it be "bra å träffas" and "bra å åka" or in these cases you still preserve the"t" sound?
    And äntligen :) how do you usually spell these och/att reductions in a written form imitating the oral pronunciation, like chat messages etc? "Jag och du" will be "Ja å du" or "Ja o du"?

    I'm gotlandic with the full blown dialect so i know the diffirences... or so i thought. I have never ever heard a person on gotland ever dropping the h in har. However when it comes to Gotlandic that will probably be the last diffirence you'l think off. I would not mind getting some more of my dialect out there but to keep thigs short. If you are a foreigner learning Swedish and then going here then do NOT trick your self into thinking you might understand people out on the island of Gotland willy nilly cus it's not exactly a dialect, it's nearly a language of it's own.

      Unfortunately for you, neither the t nor the n in ditt och din are dropped. Neither is the n dropped in klänningen. Huse though, that one is a correct way of dropping a letter.

    Jag vill bara påpeka att ni talar med många "Stokholmismer" som inte finns i rikssvenska, eller i andra dialekter.
    Ni framställer detta som om det vore "såhär talar alla svenskar", vilket är osant.

    • @sayitinswedish
      @sayitinswedish  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nja, det som det talas om här är regler som gäller centralsvenska, och även flera dialekter. Det är grejer som ofta lärs ut. De gäller inte för alla dialekter men att säga att det bara är Stockholmismer är tyvärr felaktigt.

      No, although it's definitely possible (as you can hear in the first example), but that's not what I meant. The "push" comes from the secondary stress (which you hear in the rest of the examples).

    Something swedes does wrong all the time as they don't use Han and Honom correct

    I hear often people Say -Jag skall gå till han.

    • @sayitinswedish
      @sayitinswedish  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's true! It's something that we can't really regard as an error since it originates in the accusative form, whereas honom is the dative form. Spoken and written languages are really to be regarded as two variants here.
