This video is so well done. I'm sure it will create a "break-through" for anyone who wants to make their Swedish more understandable to Swedes! I mean, I think that everyone who watches this will have an "aha" moment........
I was crying from sadness. Then I watched your video about Swedish stress and I realized stress is very important. I'm still crying, but it's ok now. Thank you, you Swedish person, you.
@@sayitinswedish Well, I wasn't crying BECAUSE of Swedish language. Swedish language was just there for me when I needed a pep talk about Stress, and that made everything better in the moment. 🙃 Yes, cathartic. It's all good 🙂Tack! 😀
@@sayitinswedish Yes! In a good way. BTW, I do watch your channel for the learning content, not just for overcoming sadness 😊 I am at the stage of learning Swedish where I am increasing my vocabulary, but still hesitate to construct sentences. I shall try now: Jag har lärt mig ungefär 1000 ord! 😊 (I hope that was correct!)
As a musician, I can understand the stress and tones of Swedish. It's important to listen to a native and duplicate that exactly, but it's not that easy!!!
Very much information and very useful. Thankyou. 🙂 other examples which get totally different meaning when stressed in wrong way: tycker om (have an opinion about / like), skriva på (write over already written text / put your name under a text), skriva om (describe something / write a new essay), slå på (hit a button to switch on a device / hit the device itself)
@@sayitinswedish I am just learning for the fun of it. I have always loved the sound of Swedish, and when the pandemic began and we went into lockdown in Australia I decided to start learning it. The more I learn the more I love it and am really grateful to you for generous videos.
Thanks for this video😊 When I watch your content, I make short notes and then tell my friends from Sweden about the intricacies of their language. They are all very surprised that it is so difficult 🤣
Hi Joakim. Could you do a video on an alphabet letter: “K” with different vernacular pronunciations. Great video to listen and watch! This is definitely my “Go To” favorites video list.
Absolut! Anledningen är inte att svenskar är elaka, utan att de vill hjälpa till. Är man dock duktig på att betona rätt är chansen större att svenskar inte byter språk.
Quite good explanation! The stressing issue is similar to that in Portuguese: MÉdico (doctor) and meDIco ("I prescribe"), aNÁlise (exam) and anaLIse ("do analyze"), and so on...
Thank you for this information. My native language is English. If I knew Spanish, for example, and was talking to a native Spanish speaker trying to speak in English and I just couldn't understand him/her at all or if a precise understanding was required in a situation, then I'd switch to English. Otherwise, it would be rude (and lazy) of me to switch to Spanish when he/she clearly wants to speak in English. Being involved in ESOL tutoring with a variety of students whose native languages I cannot understand, one thing I've found is that if they place the stress in the wrong place(s) this rarely result in misunderstandings - there are minor exceptions but CONTEXT and common SENSE usually will quickly clarify what was meant to be said. What I've found overall, when people switch languages, is they just don't want to put out any effort to help.
Hej! I love your content. I would appreciate a copy of your book. I moved to Stockholm so that I can be close to my Swedish son and I am having difficulties communicating with him. Tack!
Hej, I've been learning swedish for about 2 years, can you recommend a good way to practice my swedish speaking /conversation skills with someone else ?
@@范姜-d1q yes, particle verbs get the stress on the particle but not in the context of a sentence if not specifically stressed. E is never pronounced like i:
Now how good is this guy in here? Totally Hard 2 Beat I must say. But hej hej, now a question must be answered: what brand of coffee does he actually drink? What did he actually drink before recording this video? Here I really need to know because I obviously need some of his stuff :) #powerfika #trustthefika
This video took THREE extended work days to edit, so please show it some love if you liked it!

Crying is cathartic and it's ok to be sad. But if it has anything to do with your Swedish studies, it's nothing that can't be solved :)

No need to duplicate it exactly! But stress is important for Swedes to follow along comfortable!

Great examples of particle verbs! "Skriva om" means rewrite as a particle verb though, otherwise it means "write about something"
I am Brazilian and watching this video I just realized Portuguese language is also a stress language. Better late than never. Thank you!
Excellent Joakim. I'll watch over and over again, I know stress is specially important in svenska. Tack!
Awesome! I'm glad you find it useful.
This was SO helpful, thank you so much. I have been learning Swedish for about 2 years and this video is a game changer for me. Really appreciate it!
Better late than never! I'm glad you find it helpful. Why are you learning Swedish if I may ask?

The best channel about Swedish in the whole world!
Aaaw thank you!
I am learning Norwegian. This video is much useful for me. Thank you.😘

You have to remember that stress is not equally important to all languages.
Very important video. Thank You very much.
Thank you!! Good content!!
Thank you!
Could banal be a French word? Bcs we have it in Turkish too.
Yeah
we have it in German too
Could you make video on when and when not to use "att" in a sentence? 😅

Maybe try something like italki? If you join our Discord community, you can chat in the Swedish chat!

Hi! Should I pronounce "be-" like /biː/ or /bɛ/ ? And also, would you stress "om" in "tycker om"?
@@范姜-d1q yes, particle verbs get the stress on the particle but not in the context of a sentence if not specifically stressed.

Joakim, if someone is trying to learn Swedish, how do they stress the words they want or need to when they’re typing on their cellphone?!
Word order or caps :)

You basically should!
